This is the second pedestrian collision in Abbotsford in less than a week. Last Tuesday (Sept. 29), a 58-year-old woman was struck by a vehicle while in a crosswalk in front of West Oaks Mall.

The woman was critically injured and remains in hospital in stable condition.

The driver fled the scene and, on Friday, police released a photo of the suspect vehicle – a silver van with tinted rear windows – as well as a description of the driver.

The man is described as 5′ 6″ to 5′ 10″, 50 to 60 years old and with a medium build. He was unshaven at the time of the crash and was wearing tan pants.

Anyone with information is asked to call the APD at 604-859-5225 or text abbypd (222973).
