Pedestrian killed in hit and run, police searching for driver
A man is dead following a hit and run collision Sunday night in Red Deer, and police are hoping the public can help locate the driver involved.
Officers responded to the collision at about 8:45 p.m. in the 5200 block of 76 Street.
Mounties say the 38-year-old male victim had been standing by a parked vehicle on 76 Street when he was struck by a red truck that did not stop after the collision. The truck was last seen driving eastbound on 76 Street and may have turned right onto Gaetz Avenue. The victim was not in the traffic lane when he was struck, according to police. He was treated on scene before being taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
An RCMP collision analyst and forensic identification investigator attended the scene to gather evidence while more police officers conducted numerous neighbourhood enquiries.
