VANCOUVER Police are investigating a serious hit-and-run that sent a 30-year-old man to hospital with life-threatening injuries on Tuesday, October 12 and are asking witnesses to come forward.

The victim was crossing East 41 Avenue at Fraser Street at 6:25 a.m. when he was struck by a vehicle that was travelling west, causing serious head injuries.  The driver fled west without stopping.

Witnesses or anyone with dash-cam footage from the area are asked to call VPD Collision Investigation Unit at 604-717-3012.
