IIO appeals to witnesses of pedestrian struck by RCMP vehicle

The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. (IIO) is looking for a key witness that may have seen an unmarked police vehicle hit a pedestrian last week.

The incident occurred at 10:30 p.m. on March 13th at the intersection of Highway 99 and Garibaldi Way in Squamish.

The IIO has identified a small white hatchback turning right from Garibaldi Way to merge with the southbound lane of Highway 99 at the same time as the unmarked police vehicle struck the pedestrian. The agency believes the occupant of this vehicle could be a potential key witness.

The IIO is asking for the driver of this vehicle and any potential occupants or other witnesses who may have seen, heard, or recorded the incident to contact the IIO Witness Line at 1-855-446-8477 or e-mail info@iiobc.ca.
