A 39-year-old man suspected of being behind the wheel during a hit and run has turned himself in, RCMP said Monday afternoon.
The move followed a plea from Prince George RCMP after a cyclist was taken to hospital with serious injuries following an incident Saturday morning on University Way near UNBC.
Police, who had been called to the scene at about 10 a.m., had been looking for the driver of a black GMC Sierra half-ton pickup, circa 2016 to 2018.
The man's name was not provided and charges remain pending. The investigation remains ongoing, police said.
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident is asked to contact the Prince George RCMP at (250) 561-3300 or to anonymously contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at at www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca.
