Two drivers accused of hitting same pedestrian then leaving B.C. crash site
COQUITLAM, B.C. — Mounties in Coquitlam, B.C., say charges have been approved against two drivers who are accused of leaving the scene after allegedly running over the same pedestrian.
Police say a lone female had the right of way at the intersection of Pinetree Way and Guildford Way in January last year when she was hit by a vehicle.
They say a short time later, as she was unconscious on the ground, a second vehicle hit her.
Neither driver remained at the scene, but a Good Samaritan was tending to the woman when police arrived.
RCMP say each of the drivers faces a charge of failing to stop after an accident causing bodily harm.
Police say the pedestrian continues to recover from serious injuries.
