Mounties seek hit-and-run driver after collision seriously injures Kelowna pedestrian

KELOWNA - Police are seeking the driver of a damaged BMW after a hit-and-run collision in Rutland this afternoon.

Emergency crews were called at 2:26 p.m. Friday, June 22 after reports of a collision between a car and a pedestrian on Rutland Road North, RCMP media officer Cpl. Tania Carroll said in a press release.

RCMP arrived to find a seriously injured male lying unconscious but breathing in the roadway.

The male driving the navy blue BMW I series car drove away from the scene, heading eastbound on McCurdy Road, police say. The car will have front-end damage and a broken windshield.

The unidentified pedestrian was rushed to Kelowna General Hospital and remains in serious condition, the release says.
