Local police were called to the intersection of rue de l’Alliance and boulevard de la Gappe after a hit-and-run incident that took place on July 29, shortly before 11 am. The incident involved a black car and a 94-year-old female pedestrian.

The driver of the car fled from the scene without helping the woman who was injured in the collision. Other nearby citizens helped the woman whose injuries were not life-threatening.

Investigators have met with several witnesses to establish the circumstances of the incident. To help find the suspect, police are now asking for the public’s help identifying the car involved, a recent model of the Kia Sorento.

Police encourage anyone with information about this event or the vehicle to contact Detective Sergeant Renée-Anne St-Amant at 819-243-2345, ext. 1668 or by email st-amant.renee-anne@gatineau.ca
