Nakusp RCMP have arrested a suspect in connection with a hit-and-run that left two pedestrians injured on August 19.
Police said they received reports of the collision just before midnight, but the vehicle involved had fled the scene.
When officers arrived, they found two pedestrians: a man with serious, life-altering injuries and a woman with minor injuries. Both were taken to hospital.
“Through the course of the investigation, police were able to identify a suspect and associated vehicle,” Staff Sgt. Kris Clark of the RCMP said in a news release.
“Later that night, investigators located the suspect vehicle that had since been abandoned and seized it for further examination.”
Clark said the incident happened in a local parking lot. The suspect turned himself in on August 21.
The investigation is ongoing.
