  • Police investigate three unsolved hit-and-runs in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside

Police in Vancouver say they're investigating three unsolved hit-and-run collisions in the city's Downtown Eastside neighbourhood since last Nov. 27.

The first crash happened that day, when a driver struck and dragged a 40-year-old man near the intersection of Graveley Street and Slocan Avenue.

Police say the man sustained life-altering injuries and remains in hospital in stable condition, while the driver who fled the crash is believed to be a man in a light grey or silver 2010 to 2012 Acura RDX SUV.

The second of the three unsolved hit-and-runs was fatal, occurring the evening of Dec. 7, when police say a 61-year-old man was struck by two vehicles while he was crossing at East Hastings Street and Dunlevy Avenue.

Police say one of the drivers remained at the scene, while the other did not, and investigators are searching for a white Range Rover Evoque SUV.

Two weeks later, on Dec. 22, police say an 81-year-old woman was struck and killed while crossing Rupert Street and Euclid Avenue, and while the driver left, police have since located and seized a vehicle they say was involved in that crash.

Police are asking anyone with information about the crashes, which they say are not related, to contact them.
