Merritt RCMP seek witnesses and footage after 72-year-old struck by a pickup truck

MERRITT, B.C. — Merritt RCMP are seeking witnesses and dash camera footage from a hit and run near Aberdeen Road in late November.

In a news release issued Monday (Dec. 12) morning, Merritt RCMP say a 72-year-old person was struck by a truck in the Aberdeen Cold Beer and Wine Store on Nov. 26 shortly after 4:00 p.m.

Police say the truck did not remain on scene, and the 72-year-old was sent to Nicola Valley Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

“It is possible the driver was unaware they struck the pedestrian, and we are asking them to do the right thing and contact us,” Cst. Nicholas Maciejewski says.
