One arrested after hit-and-run leaves teen in critical condition

STAFF REPORT
January 26, 2021 1:15pm

North Vancouver RCMP have made an arrest and seized a vehicle after a hit-and-run that left a 17-year-old in critical condition.

The collision happened last night around 10:15 p.m. near Keith Road East and St. Andrews Ave.

The teenager remains in critical condition, and investigators are appealing for additional witnesses to contact the Detachment at (604) 985-1311.

She was found unconscious and critically injured just after 10:15 pm last night.

Police say witnesses heard the collision and investigators believe there may be others not yet identified who saw or heard the collision, or possibly captured evidence on surveillance video.

“Although we have made an arrest, it’s very important that we continue our efforts to gather all available evidence,” said Sgt. Peter DeVries of the North Vancouver RCMP.

“We are looking for witnesses from two separate areas who may have seen or heard a white, newer model vehicle in the area or on neighbouring streets,” he said.

“If you were near Keith Rd. East, between Ridgeway Ave. and St. George’s Ave. around 10:15 p.m. last night, or live in the area, and you saw the vehicle or heard the collision, or if you were near Lynn Valley Rd. and the Safeway parking lot at Lynn Valley Centre shortly after 10:15 p.m. and saw a vehicle matching that description, then please call us at (604) 985-1311.

“Police are also asking anyone with dash cam or surveillance video to come forward.

“Your surveillance camera may have captured something. Please check.”

While investigators made good progress overnight, Sgt. Peter DeVries said there’s still a lot of work to be done.

“Our greatest concern is for the health of this young woman,” he said. “We have the investigation well in hand. The focus for everyone else right now should be on her recovery.”
