A 38-year-old Surrey woman is facing several charges in connection with the hit and run of two flaggers last month.

Burnaby RCMP say a white SUV collided with a flagger in the 7400-block of 10 Avenue near Kingsway at around 11:30 a.m on June 28.

Video posted to social media showed the SUV trying to merge into traffic in a construction zone. The vehicle then ran into a flagger who appeared to be trying to stop the vehicle.
