Parkland RCMP seek public’s assistance in hit and run involving cyclist

Jul 4, 2022 | 11:13 AM

Parkland County RCMP say they are looking for the public’s assistance in a hit and run collision involving a cyclist.

On July 3, 2022, at 6:40 a.m., Parkland County RCMP say they responded to a report of a hit and run involving a cyclist on Hwy 60 just south of Hwy 627 (Township Road 520).

The initial investigation, they say, determined that bystanders found an injured cyclist by the southbound lane. The cyclist, a 74-year-old male from Fort St. John B.C., was observed to have head and shoulder injuries. Officials say he was conscious, but not alert and has been transported by ambulance to a local hospital in serious condition.

Police say they found a broken side mirror at the scene that appears to belong to a larger white truck, similar to a Ford F350.

Witnesses reported to RCMP there were foggy conditions in the area Sunday morning and the driver may not be aware they hit anyone.

Parkland RCMP are asking anyone who may have any information in relation to this collision to call Parkland RCMP immediately at 825-220-7267. For those wishing to remain anonymous, they can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), online at www.P3Tips.com or by using the “P3 Tips” app available through the Apple App or Google Play Store.
