SURREY, B.C. — Police say two men have pleaded guilty for their roles in a fatal hit-and-run in Surrey, B.C., last year where a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle then dragged for several blocks.

Surrey police say Gaganpreet Singh and Jagdeep Singh were two of the three occupants in a red Ford Mustang that struck the male pedestrian in the early morning of Jan. 27, 2024.

Police say officers found both the vehicle and the pedestrian a few blocks away from where the hit-and-run was reported, and the victim was declared dead at the scene.

Both Gaganpreet Singh and Jagdeep Singh pleaded guilty to charges of dangerous operation of a conveyance, failure to stop after an accident with a person and interference with a dead body.
