A cyclist was seriously injured Tuesday night in a hit-and-run collision in East Vancouver, and now authorities are asking any witnesses to come forward.
The incident took place at about 8:45 p.m. on May 26 at the intersection of Nanaimo Street and East 24th Avenue.
“The collision occurred at a busy intersection so we know there are witnesses out there who have not yet spoken with police and may also have dashcam footage that our investigators can use,” says Sergeant Aaron Roed, VPD.
Police describe the vehicle involved as being possibly an early to mid-2000s, two-door, Honda Civic coupe or a similar model, coloured beige or silver.
Additionally, the vehicle is likely to have damage to the windshield.
After striking the 39-year-old male cyclist, the driver fled the scene, heading north on Nanaimo Street.
The victim was taken to hospital and treated for his injuries.
Anyone with dashcam footage who was driving in the area of Nanaimo Street and East 24th Avenue, or in the area to the north of this intersection including side streets, around the time of the collision, is asked to call VPD investigators at 604-717-9363.
