Calgary police are searching for the driver of a second vehicle as they investigate a deadly hit-and-run in the Forest Heights community.
It happened at around 12:30am on Saturday, May 18.
Police say the victim, a man in his 70s, was using a clear crosswalk at the intersection of 47 Street and Memorial Drive SE when he was struck by a black BMW X5 traveling east on Memorial Drive.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver left before police arrived, eventually abandoning the vehicle.
On Thursday, police said they now believe a second vehicle, a white sedan, was traveling alongside the black BMW shortly before the collision.
“While we are still reviewing evidence in this case, it appears that the BMW involved in the collision overtook the white sedan moments before hitting the pedestrian,” Sergeant Colin Foster said in a news release .
“We believe the driver of the white sedan may have vital information for our investigation.”
Anyone with information about the crash, or who has dash-cam video of it, is asked to call police at 403-266-1234.
