Surrey police have issued a public appeal for witnesses following a serious hit-and-run collision that occurred on March 5, leaving one pedestrian with life-threatening injuries. The incident took place at the intersection of 88th Avenue and Nordel Way in Surrey, British Columbia.
Details of the Collision
According to police reports, the collision happened shortly before 11:30 p.m. when a vehicle struck two pedestrians at the intersection. One of the victims, a man, was transported to a local hospital where he remains in critical condition. The other pedestrian's condition has not been disclosed by authorities.
Witnesses Sought by Investigators
Police investigators believe that members of the public witnessed the collision and may have even assisted the victims at the scene. However, these potential witnesses left the area before police arrived, and authorities are now making a direct appeal for them to come forward.
"We need anyone who saw what happened to contact us immediately," said a Surrey Police Service spokesperson. "Even the smallest detail could be crucial to our investigation."
How to Provide Information
Police are asking anyone with information about the collision to contact the Surrey Police Service directly at 604-599-0502. This includes:
- People who witnessed the collision firsthand
- Individuals who may have dashcam footage from the area
- Anyone with any information about the vehicle involved
- Those who assisted the victims at the scene
Importance of Witness Cooperation
Hit-and-run collisions present particular challenges for investigators, as the fleeing driver leaves limited evidence at the scene. Witness testimony and video footage often become critical components in identifying and locating the responsible driver.
The Surrey Police Service emphasizes that no piece of information is too small, and all tips will be treated confidentially. The investigation remains active as police work to identify the vehicle and driver involved in this serious incident.
