Police are appealing for the driver of a gray SUV to come forward, after an early morning hit and run on a Richmond road.

Richmond RCMP say the pedestrian victim was crossing Bridgeport Road at Simpson Road at around 5:23 a.m. on Oct. 29 when a vehicle apparently pulled out of a parking lot, striking him, causing him falling to the ground.

The pedestrian did not get a good look at the vehicle, however, a witness described it as a gray SUV.

Neither the pedestrian nor the witness were able to obtain a license plate.

The pedestrian was taken to hospital where he was treated and released.

Police want to remind drivers involved in any form of a collision that they are required to stop and provide information to any individuals involved.

“This collision took place in the early hours of the morning when traffic would have been fairly light,” said Richmond RCMP’s Cpl. Adriana O’Malley.

“If you were in the area or are the driver of the gray SUV that exited the parking lot in the 11000 block of Bridgeport Rd, please contact us.”

Anyone who may have witnessed, or has information regarding the incident is asked to call Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 and quote file number 2021-29560. Should you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crimestoppers by phone at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or visit them online at www.solvecrime.ca.
