It was reported to police that on Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2022, a 72-year-old female was walking across a parking lot in the area of 116 Avenue and 170 Street, when a large white truck that was slowly backing up struck her. The male driver of the truck reportedly exited the vehicle to check on the woman, alongside several witnesses. He then slowly left the parking lot. The female reportedly attended a medical facility on her own and reported non-life-threatening injuries.
“The driver of the truck did the right thing and exited his vehicle to attend to the complainant,” says Const. Michael Chernyk with Edmonton Police Service’s Northeast Division. “Unfortunately, information was not collected or exchanged as it should have been, so we are hoping the public may help us connect with the driver.”
The driver is described as a white male with a heavier build and a beard who was wearing blue jeans and a ball cap.
The truck is described as a white four door Ford F Series dually truck with an orange decal on the rear driver side window, a white decal on the rear passenger side window and grey “deer” shaped decals on both the driver and passenger side front doors. Photos are included below.
Anyone with information about the truck or the driver is asked to contact the EPS complaint line at 780-423-4567 or #377 from a mobile device. Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.p3tips.com/250.
