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.”
