Mounties in Port Coquitlam are asking the public for help identifying the suspect vehicle in a hit-and-run collision that sent a motorcyclist to hospital Thursday.
The incident happened around 8:20 p.m. at the intersection of Westminster Avenue and Oxford Street in Port Coquitlam, according to a news release from Coquitlam RCMP.
The suspect vehicle is a dark-coloured GMC van. Police said witnesses told them the driver of the van struck the motorcyclist and then immediately drove away. The vehicle was last seen travelling east on Prairie Avenue, according to police.
