Two days after the cyclist was killed, police released an image of the suspect vehicle captured through surveillance video. On Wednesday, they added that the vehicle is a “dark-coloured, older model sedan” with “low-end, after-market rims.”
The RCMP added it has a “poor-quality, home-done paint job — dark grey or black matte” and that the vehicle has “significant front-end damage, specifically to the windshield.”
Anyone with information about the hit and run, the suspect vehicle or the suspect(s) is asked to call the Blackfalds RCMP detachment at 403-885-3300. Tips can also be anonymously submitted by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or contacting them online at www.P3Tips.com.
