Security footage catches hit-and-run driver checking vehicle for damage before leaving the scene
Police are investigating a hit-and-run that seriously hurt a 24-year-old man in downtown Edmonton on Sunday.
The man was trying to cross 104 Avenue heading north on 109 Street around 3:15 p.m. when he was hit by a newer dark-coloured Ford Bronco heading east on 104 Avenue.
Police said the victim left the curb against the light. A friend grabbed the man to try and pull him back, but he was hit by the Bronco and knocked to the ground.
He was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The driver did not stop after hitting the man. Instead, officers said they turned south into an alley behind the Dorchester building on 103 Avenue and 109 Street.
Police released video of the driver wanted Friday afternoon. It shows the person stopping to check their vehicle for damage before driving away.
A few hours later, police said the driver had been identified.
Officers did not say if charges were being considered.
