Calgary police said Wednesday they have located a suspect vehicle believed to be involved in a hit-and-run collision in the city’s downtown last week.
A man sustained serious injuries when he was struck in an intersection and thrown across the road by a driver who did not stop, police said.
Police said the victim and another man were crossing the road at the intersection of 2 Street and 15 Avenue S.W., at about 2:55 a.m. Sunday, April 22, when one of them was struck by a vehicle heading south.
Investigators believe the men were crossing 2 Street from east to west when the man, 50, was struck.
Police said the driver left the area heading south along 2 Street S.W. after hitting the man.
The collision reconstruction unit is investigating and police said excessive speed may have been a factor in the collision, but added it’s not known if alcohol or drugs were a factor.
In an update on May 1, police released a description of a vehicle believed to have been involved, asking the public for help identifying it. On May 2, investigators said tips from the public helped them find it.
Anyone that witnessed the collision or knows the location of the vehicle and/or driver is asked to contact police at 403-266-1234 or to contact Crime Stoppers.
