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.
