Police investigate hit-and-run collision in Bridgeland

Our Traffic Unit is investigating a hit-and-run collision that occurred at a gas station in Bridgeland yesterday afternoon.

At approximately 2:45 p.m. on Saturday, April 27, 2024, it is believed that a male pedestrian fell and was lying in a parking lot at Centex Memorial, located at 12 Fourth Street N.E.

While the man was on the ground, a light-coloured minivan, driven by a man who appears to be in his 20s, reversed out of a parking stall before pulling forward and turning northbound. When the minivan pulled forward, the front passenger side of the vehicle rolled over the pedestrian.

The minivan stopped and the driver opened his door and looked around and underneath his vehicle. He then closed the door and pulled forward, running over the pedestrian with the rear wheels.

The minivan turned eastward into the alley at the rear of the parking lot and stopped for a short time before turning north onto Edmonton Trail.

At this time, police believe it is likely the driver of the minivan was unaware of the pedestrian until the collision took place.

The pedestrian was taken to the hospital with serious, life-altering injuries.

Impairment on the part of the pedestrian is being investigated as a possible factor in the collision. Excessive speed is not considered to be a factor.
