He suffered broken bones and serious injuries. The driver fled the scene.

In a strange twist, Foreo was already in a wheelchair as a result of being in another hit-and-run.

RCMP say a tip from a member of the public who saw a news broadcast, led them to the suspect vehicle.

Police are still working to confirm who was driving the vehicle.

Anyone with information is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers.
