A suspect in a hit-and-run injury collision was tracked down and nabbed Saturday evening by the Kelowna RCMP, with the support of one of its Police Service Dogs.

On Oct. 7, just past 9:30 p.m., the Kelowna RCMP Municipal Traffic Section responded to the intersection of Springfield Road and Gordon Drive for reports of a two-vehicle collision, where one of the vehicles failed to remain at the scene of the crash.

Police have learned that a southbound grey Saturn LS1 sedan, on Gordon Drive, had been struck by a black Chevrolet Avalanche, which had reportedly been westbound on Springfield Road at the time.

Witnesses told police that the driver of the Chevrolet Avalanche failed to stop for a red light at the intersection.

A witness to the crash followed the black Chevrolet Avalanche, which allegedly immediately fled the collision scene. The witness guided RCMP to a second location where the Chevrolet Avalanche had been left abandoned.
