Nanaimo RCMP asking for tips after reported hit-and-run on elderly woman
Nanaimo RCMP are turning to the public for help finding a truck and driver allegedly involved in a hit-and-run on an elderly woman.
Cst. Gary O’Brien said the 80-year-old woman reported being hit by a newer model white pickup truck while she was in a marked crosswalk on Fitzwilliam St. at Selby St. around 3 p.m. on April 17.
“She fell to the ground and when she got back on her feet she said the driver asked her if she was okay, to which she reportedly replied ‘No, I’m not okay.’ He then turned left and continued westbound on Fitzwilliam,” O’Brien told NanaimoNewsNOW.
O’Brien said thankfully the woman was only left with minor bumps and bruises.
