Calgary police have released a photo of a man believed to be involved in a hit and run in Bridgeland that saw a pedestrian run over twice.
The collision occurred in the parking lot of the Centex in the 0-100 block of Fourth Street NE at 2:45pm on Saturday, April 27.
Police believe the male pedestrian had collapsed and was lying in the parking lot when a light-colored minivan backed out of the parking stall, then pulled over and turned north.
“When the minivan pulled forward, the front passenger side of the vehicle rolled over the pedestrian,” police said in a news release.
“The minivan stopped and the driver opened his door and looked around and under his vehicle. He then closed the door and pulled forward, running over the pedestrian with the rear wheels.”
Investigators believe the driver of the minivan was unaware of the pedestrian until the collision occurred. Police are investigating possible driver impairment as a factor in the incident.
The pedestrian was taken to hospital with serious life-changing injuries.
Police previously released a photo of the vehicle, an older model silver Honda Odyssey, and on Wednesday released a photo of the suspect.
