Vancouver Police are asking anyone with dash-cam footage to come forward after an 87-year-old woman was struck in a crosswalk in the Dunbar neighbourhood early Wednesday morning and the driver left without stopping.

The collision happened at 7:35 a.m. at Dunbar Street and West 41st Avenue. The pedestrian was crossing Dunbar Street in a marked crosswalk when a vehicle turning left from West 41st Avenue onto Dunbar hit her, Vancouver Police Department said in a news release posted at 12:07 p.m. Wednesday.

The driver and a passenger fled the scene. Vancouver Police describe the vehicle as a white sedan last seen travelling southbound on Dunbar Street toward S.W. Marine Drive.

The woman remains in hospital with serious injuries, VPD says. VPD has not disclosed her name and no charges have been announced.

## What investigators want from the public

The VPD Collision Investigation Unit is asking for witnesses and dashcam footage from the area on Wednesday morning. Anyone who was near Dunbar Street and West 41st Avenue at 7:35 a.m. and may have captured the collision on a dashcam can call investigators at 604-717-3012. That unit investigates serious collisions in Vancouver and leads the follow-up when a driver leaves the scene.

If you recognise the description of the white sedan with two occupants that was travelling southbound on Dunbar toward S.W. Marine Drive at that time, you can contact the same unit.

## Pedestrian safety in Vancouver this November

Wednesday's collision follows a series of serious pedestrian injuries during the recent stretch of wet, dark weather in the city. On November 9, VPD launched Project Vigilance, a road safety campaign aimed at the most common causes of serious collisions. That campaign followed the deaths of several pedestrians in Vancouver since October.

The Dunbar neighbourhood in southwest Vancouver is primarily residential. West 41st Avenue is one of the main east-west arterial roads through the area, running from Dunbar west through Kerrisdale and Marpole.

If you have information about this collision, contact the VPD Collision Investigation Unit at 604-717-3012.
