On Tuesday, Jan. 14, 2020, a two-vehicle collision in the La Perle neighbourhood was reported to police. At approximately 6 p.m. that day, two vehicles, a truck and an SUV, were reportedly parked at a shopping complex in the area of 182 Street and 97 Avenue when the truck allegedly backed into the SUV and drove away westbound on 97A Avenue. The estimated damage to the SUV is approximately $10,000.
“At this time, we are not sure the driver was aware that he struck another vehicle,” says Const. Anton Golosov with Edmonton Police Service’s West Division. “We are hopeful that someone may recognize him so that we can speak with him about the collision.”
The male driver is described as a white, 60 to 70-year-old male, approximately 5’10” tall with a medium build. He was reportedly wearing prescription glasses. A photo of the man, who reportedly made a purchase at a nearby business just prior to the collision, is included below.
