Cranbrook RCMP are requesting assistance from the public after being called to a Motor Vehicle Incident involving a pedestrian in downtown Cranbrook late last night.

At about 11:30 p.m. last night, the Cranbrook RCMP was called to a collision between a vehicle and a pedestrian on 8^th Ave. S near Baker St. The driver of the vehicle stopped and stayed on scene until police and BC Ambulance arrived.

It is believed the pedestrian may have already been on the ground when the vehicle made contact with him. The 51-year-old male was transported to East Kootenay Regional Hospital and later transported to Vancouver to be treated for life threatening injuries.

Cranbrook RCMP is continuing to investigate this incident and are looking for anyone who might have been in the area or witnessed the collision, to please contact them with any information.

“Sometimes people think they don’t have anything to add to an investigation such as this but they might have that one missing link to help determine exactly what happened,” said Cst. Katie Forgeron of Cranbrook RCMP.

Cranbrook RCMP ask that anyone with information please contact the Cranbrook RCMP at 250-489-3471 or Crimestoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477). Information can also be relayed via web or text based tips with details on canadiancrimestoppers.org.
