Police investigate hit-and-run fatality in the northwest

We continue to investigate a collision that occurred early yesterday morning where a pedestrian was fatally struck by a truck that failed to remain at the scene.

Just after midnight, on Monday, Sept. 4, 2023, a pedestrian was struck at the intersection of 16 Avenue and Montgomery Avenue N.W.

It is believed a 59-year-old man was struck by a black Ford Ranger truck while he was crossing 16 Avenue N.W. The man was transported to hospital in life-threatening condition where he later succumbed to his injuries. The driver of the truck fled the scene.
