Edmonton police are asking for the public’s help finding a black car they believe is connected with a hit and run last weekend that injured a pedestrian.

At about 12:50 a.m. on Saturday, officers responded to a crash involving a vehicle and a pedestrian on 23 Avenue, just east of 85 Street.

Police were told a man was walking north across 23 Avenue in a marked crosswalk when a vehicle heading east stopped in the outside right lane to let him cross. A second vehicle, in the inside left lane, struck the man and it’s alleged the driver left the scene.
