Police on Vancouver Island are appealing for witnesses after a 60-year-old skateboarder was hurt in a hit-and-run on Remembrance Day.
Mounties say it happened along Comox Road near Scott Road, outside Courtenay.
They say the victim told police the driver got out of his vehicle and initially offered to take the skateboarder to hospital, then fled when he heard sirens approaching.
The skateboarder suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries, and police say he is expected to recover.

Conservatives Leader John Rustad says he has accepted the apology of Surrey South candidate Brent Chapman and won't ask him to step down, but Eby says a candidate engaged in such speech should be fired. Chapman's comments in a series of social media posts about 10 years ago are resurfacing days ahead of the Oct. 19 provincial election.
Rustad told Tuesday's party leaders' debate that he saw someone die "from an overdose" on the corner of Robson and Hornby streets in Vancouver, later telling a news conference he watched first responders "pumping his chest" as an ambulance arrived.
But in his first scheduled appearance after the sole televised debate of the closely fought election, Eby repeatedly turned back to his opponent, saying B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad was "vague" about his plans, and pointed out again that the B.C. Conservatives had not released their costed platform.
