Prince George RCMP are looking for witnesses to a cyclist hit-and-run that occurred very early this morning (Aug. 3).
Police received a report shortly after 1 a.m. of a man yelling for help near the intersection of Ogilvie Street and 5 Avenue. When frontline police officers arrived at the location they found the victim, who had been riding his bike at the time of the incident, being attended to by paramedics.
The 47-year-old man was taken to hospital by ambulance for treatment of his serious, but non-life threatening, injuries.
“Evidence collected from the location indicates a 2008-2010 Ford Focus with an upper-level trim package may be involved in the incident. Investigators are looking to speak with witnesses or anyone with dash cam footage that may have captured the event,” said Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
“Additionally, if anyone living in the area has video surveillance facing the street, they can contact police by calling the non-emergency line at 250- 561-3300. Please quote file number 2022-27596.”
The Prince George RCMP said the investigation is ongoing. If you have any information about this or any criminal offence you can also anonymously contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.northernbccrimestoppers.ca.
