The family of a 69-year-old woman who died in a hit and run collision in Surrey last year is appealing for witnesses or the driver to come forward to police.
RCMP say on Oct. 1, 2018, Sharon Mitchell was in a marked crosswalk at 68 Avenue and 138 Street in her wheelchair when she was struck and killed by a vehicle.
She was taken to hospital in critical condition where she died from her injuries.
The driver of the vehicle did not stop after the crash.
Investigators believe there are people with information which could help police with the investigation.
Mitchell’s family appealed Tuesday, a year later, for witnesses to call police.
“It can be difficult to come forward to police, particularly after so much time has passed,” said RCMP Cpl. Lucy Shorey.
“While nothing can take away the grief the family has suffered over last year, witnesses can bring some comfort to this family by assisting us in solving this case. We are also appealing directly to the driver. It’s never too late to come forward to explain your side of the story,” she said.
Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca.
