Cranbrook RCMP are investigating a hit and run collision that occurred Thursday, October 17, at a pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Victoria Avenue and 2nd Street North (pictured above).

RCMP attended the East Kootenay Regional Hospital and spoke to a 15-year-old boy who reported that on Thursday October 17, at 7:45 p.m., he was walking across Victoria Avenue at 2nd Street North after activating the walk lights at the marked crossing. The boy was struck by a blue Chevrolet Cruze vehicle and knocked onto the hood, after which the driver stopped. The boy rolled off the side of the vehicle, and the driver then immediately fled the scene.

This is a well-lit crossing with flashing amber lights indicating a pedestrian crossing and lights that illuminate the street directly under the amber lights.

The pedestrian was not seriously injured and was released from hospital that same night.

Cranbrook RCMP are seeking the assistance of anyone who may have observed this collision or know the owner of the blue Chevrolet Cruze, that was involved in this collision.

If anyone has any additional information about this or any other crime they can call the Cranbrook RCMP at 250-489-3471 or East Kootenay Crimestoppers (1-800-222-TIPS).
