RCMP searching for truck involved in QEII hit and run Thursday morning

The RCMP and Alberta Sheriffs are investigating a serious hit and run on the QEII Wednesday morning near Leduc.

They say the suspect vehicle has been identified as a red or maroon-coloured Ram 2500 or 3500 truck. The public are asked to report any sightings of this truck. It has incurred severe front-end damage.

According to RCMP, it was at 11:10 a.m. that the female driver of an SUV reported she had been involved in a collision with a truck, and that the truck had fled the scene.

Investigation has determined that the SUV was merging onto the QEII northbound, north of the Airport Road near Edmonton International. It was struck from behind by what is believed to be a 2010-2012 Ram truck, also travelling northbound towards Edmonton. Evidence on scene indicates that the truck will have major front-end damage.
