A 63-year-old woman was treated in hospital after a hit-and-run in a downtown Nanaimo crosswalk.
Police said the woman was knocked to the ground and suffered “significant but non-life-threatening injuries” as she crossed the street at Commercial Street and Terminal Avenue about 8:15 p.m. Tuesday.
Witnesses told police a silver or white car left the scene. A grey 2009 Toyota Camry was found abandoned a short time later at Terminal and Cliff Street.
Police are following up with the registered owner of the Camry, who lives in the Lower Mainland.
Nanaimo RCMP ask anyone with information to contact them at 250-754-2345 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
