North Vancouver RCMP are looking for witnesses and dash-cam footage after a pedestrian was seriously injured in a hit-and-run collision with a vehicle near the intersection of Marine Drive and Capilano Road Wednesday night.

Passersby found the pedestrian, a man from North Vancouver in his late 40s, laying on the roadway with serious injuries around 9:20 p.m., said Const. Mansoor Sahak, spokesman for the detachment. The man was rushed to hospital.

Police arrived on scene to find the suspect vehicle had fled, leaving vehicle debris behind.

“The investigation is in its earliest stages and it’s very important that we continue our efforts to gather all available evidence,” Sahak said. “We are looking for witnesses or drivers who were in the area of Marine Drive and Capilano Road at around 9:20 p.m. last night.”

Police are asking anyone who was near the area or may have seen someone driving away from the scene of the accident to please call North Vancouver RCMP at 604-985-1311 and quote file 23-22428. Police are also asking anyone with dash cam or surveillance video to come forward.

“Your surveillance camera may have captured something. Please check,” said Sahak.
