Kelowna RCMP have released a photograph of a vehicle believed to have struck a pedestrian before fleeing the scene, leaving the victim unconscious on the road with serious injuries.
According to police, a man walking along Rutland Road North near Klassen Road was hit by a navy blue BMW 328I Series at approximately 2:26 p.m on June 22.
Police found the 63-year-old pedestrian approximately 20 metres from where he was hit. In the aftermath, one boot could be seen on the ground.
Investigators found the suspect vehicle an hour after the incident at 875 Badke Road, near the intersection of Franklyn Road at Highway 33.
Police say the BMW is a four-door sedan with after-market black 20′ spoke alloy wheels.
Police are seeking any witnesses who observed the vehicle or may have commercial security video, residential security video or dash cam video.
This was the second hit and run in as many days in the Okanagan. On Thursday, a cyclist was hit in Enderby.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Kelowna RCMP Municipal Traffic Section at 250-762-3300.
