Calgary police are looking for a man who they believe has information about a hit-and-run at a city grocery store earlier this week that sent a 77-year-old woman to hospital.

Police have released images of the vehicle they believe fled the scene after the collision.

On Tuesday at around 1:35 p.m., Calgary police said the septuagenarian was hit in a Sobeys parking lot in the community of Cranston.

Police believe the woman was pushing a shopping cart across the parking lot when the vehicle, a dark-blue, two-door, 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt with black rims, reversed out of a west-facing parking stall and hit the woman, knocking her over and causing serious but non-life-threatening injuries before driving away.
