KAMLOOPS — Kamloops RCMP are looking to the public for information connected to a Friday (Aug. 25) afternoon hit-and-run that left a man in hospital with serious injuries.

RCMP say the incident occurred around 2:35 p.m. at the intersection of 6th Avenue and Lansdowne Street. According to a police news release, a pedestrian was struck by a dark coloured Chevy Cruz. The driver of the car sped away after the collision.

“The Cruz was located shortly after with a smashed windshield, abandoned in Riverside Park,” said RCMP Corporal Crystal Evelyn. The car had been reported stolen earlier in the week from a home on Yew Street.

The victim is expected to survive.

Anyone with information on the crash, the vehicle theft, or the suspects who abandoned it in Riverside Park, should contact the Kamloops RCMP Detachment at 250-828-3000 and reference file 2023-30738.
