Witnesses sought in possible hit-and-run: Mission RCMP

MISSION — Mounties in Mission are looking for witnesses in connection with a possible hit-and-run that left a 20-year-old man with non-life-threatening injuries.

Corporal Harrison Mohr with the Mission RCMP detachment says a South Asian male had just gotten off the No. 32 bus around 8 p.m. on Tuesday, March 27 in the vicinity of 7th Avenue and Blott Street in Mission. The male was wearing a grey and black jacket, a grey hoody and blue jeans. He only walked a short distance before an unknown event occurred, leaving the man injured in the middle of the roadway. Cpl. Mohr reports the male was able to make it back to his home nearby to obtain help from his family.

“This is a bit of a strange occurrence, as the victim has very little memory of the incident,” says Cpl. Mohr with Mission RCMP. “However, based on the man’s injuries and other evidence, it appears as though he was struck by a vehicle on the north side of the intersection of 7th Avenue and Blott Street. We’re asking the driver of that vehicle, or anyone who saw what happened, to call Mission RCMP, so we can help determine what happened.”

The man is expected to make a full recovery from his injuries. Anyone with information should call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161. The Mission RCMP file number is 2024-3503.
