Richmond RCMP is appealing for witnesses after a 10-year-old boy was hit by a vehicle while walking his dog in the Thompson neighbourhood late last month.
The hit-and-run occurred at the intersection of Westminster Highway and Barnard Drive around 6:30 p.m. on Friday, April 23.
“Fortunately, the boy received only minor injuries and his dog was unharmed,” said RCMP in a statement on Wednesday.
However, Richmond Mounties said they are now looking to speak with the driver of the vehicle involved in the collision, who did not remain on scene.
A description of the vehicle is not available at this time, according to RCMP.
Anyone who may have witnessed this incident, or who has dash-cam video, is urged to contact Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212, quoting file number 21-10841. To remain anonymous, contact Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.solvecrime.ca
