  • Abbotsford Police looking for a suspect in a hit and run case that claimed the life of a 38 year old man

On December 11th of last year, 38-year-old Marc Ellis of Abbotsford tragically lost his life after being struck by a 2019 red Dodge Ram pickup truck while attempting to rescue a dog running on the roadway.

Abbotsford Police have identified the truck's owner, an Abbotsford business. To date, the business owner is not cooperating with the police investigation.

The truck driver and his passenger fled the scene on foot prior to police arrival. Major Crime Detectives believe both men had been attending a party in the area before the collision. "We're appealing to anyone at this party to come forward and speak to the police. We know people have vital information who were present at this party that will assist in advancing this investigation and bring the driver responsible for Marc's death before the courts," said Sergeant Paul Walker.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225.
