Surrey RCMP renew calls for information a year after fatal hit and run

SURREY (NEWS 1130) – A year after 69-year-old Sharon Mitchell was struck and killed in an intersection in a hit-and-run in Surrey, her family is pleading for anyone with answers to come forward.

On October 1st, 2018 Mitchell was crossing the marked intersection of 68 Avenue and 138 Street in her wheelchair when she was hit by a southbound vehicle.

The driver did not stop and sped away from the scene.

Cpl. Lucy Shorey with the Criminal Collision Investigation Team believes there are people in the community who have information on the case and have yet to come forward.

“It can be difficult to come forward to police, particularly after so much time has passed,” she says. “While nothing can take away the grief the family has suffered over last year, witnesses can bring some comfort to this family by assisting us in solving this case. We are also appealing directly to the driver. It’s never too late to come forward to explain your side of the story.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-7776.
