Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 03 Aug, 2023 10:17 AM

R-C-M-P in Surrey are looking for the driver of a Tesla who drove by the scene of a fatal collision this weekend.

A pedestrian was hit Saturday in the 82-hundred-block of 128th Street and later died in hospital from his injuries.

Police say moments after the crash took place, a white Tesla drove southbound past the collision scene and may have unknowingly captured important dash camera footage.

They are asking anyone who was there that night or who may have dash camera footage of the collision or suspect vehicle to contact police.
