Victoria police are appealing for the driver in a hit-and-run collision that was caught on camera Thursday morning to come forward.

The crash happened just after 9 a.m., at the intersection of Bay and Blanshard streets, where police say a woman was crossing the street on a green light.

Investigators say someone driving a late-model silver or grey MINI Countryman struck the woman in the crosswalk, then continued through the red light nearly missing other vehicles in the intersection.
