An 87-year-old woman was seriously hurt in a hit-and-run crash on Wednesday morning, according to Vancouver police. The department says the senior was crossing at a marked crosswalk at Dunbar Street and West 41st Avenue around 7:35 a.m. when she was struck by a car. “Investigators believe a driver in a white sedan was turning left from West 41st Avenue onto Dunbar Street when the car collided with the pedestrian, knocking her to the ground,” police wrote in a statement. “The driver did not stop to assist the woman or remain at the scene as required by law.” She remains in hospital with injuries police describe as serious. Police say the white sedan had two occupants and it was last seen travelling south on Dunbar toward Southwest Marine Drive. Anyone who witnessed the crash or has dash-cam video is asked to call the VPD at 604-717-3012 or email VPDCIU@vpd.ca. Last week, another pedestrian who was struck while crossing the street on Dunbar, a few blocks away at West 34th Avenue, died from her injuries. The 78-year-old was hospitalized on Nov. 6 and succumbed to her injuries the following day, according to police.
