Hit-and-run puts woman in ICU

Arrest made after retired cop spots broken windshield BRENT RICHTER brichter@nsnews.com

One woman is in intensive care and another is under arrest after a hit-and-run

on a pedestrian on Grand Boulevard in North Vancouver Wednesday night. Police say the victim, 21, was crossing in the

marked crosswalk at 16th Street around 8:20 p.m. when she was struck.The driver continued on without stopping. “Our saviour of the day was a retired Edmonton police officer who was walking his dog several blocks away when he noticed this vehicle drive by

with a smashed windshield and noted the licence plate number and called the RCMP,” said Cpl. Richard De Jong, North Vancouver RCMP spokesman. “Based on the licence, we attended the residence and subsequently, she was arrested.” On Thursday, the victim

had been in surgery for head and internal injuries and remained in the ICU. The RCMP has called in the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Unit to investigate, and police are still looking for any witnesses who may have been near the scene of the collision.

The driver, a 24-year-old woman, is facing several charges though none have been sworn in court yet. She is co-operating with police, De Jong said. “It’s a great reminder for everyone to be alert, be safe. Wear brighter clothing this time of year, especially when the sun goes down,” he said.
