A woman has serious and life-threatening injuries following a serious hit and run near Science World over the weekend.
On Nov. 27 around 10:20 p.m., the 32-year-old woman was crossing Quebec Street at Central Street when she was struck by a vehicle that was heading south, explains a news release. The driver of the vehicle fled, but significant debris, "including a driver-side mirror," was left on the road.
“This victim suffered significant trauma and will likely take months to recover,” said VPD Sgt. Steve Addison. “Although the driver failed to stop and provide assistance, we believe there were a number of witnesses and people with information that can help us find the person responsible. We’re asking those people to come forward now.”
The VPD is asking residents of the areas near Science World, Yaletown, or Olympic Village to check their home security cameras and contact police if they have footage of the suspect's vehicle.
Eyewitnesses, anyone with information, or drivers with dash-cam video are also asked to come forward.
“Based on the evidence recovered from the crime scene and information provided by eyewitnesses, we believe the vehicle was likely a grey Audi S4 or S5 built between 2009 and 2012,” added Addison. “We’re confident it’s just a matter of time before we locate the vehicle and identify the driver, so there’s still time for the person responsible to do the right thing and come forward.”
Anyone with information can contact VPD’s Hit and run Unit at 604-717-9360.
