  • Witnesses sought in hit and run

Police are looking for witnesses after investigators determined that a man found dead off the Coquihalla Highway last month was the victim of a hit-and-run.

The B-C Highway Patrol say the man was found just off the roadway near a highway exit in Merritt on August 30th.

Investigators now believe the man was likely hit by a southbound vehicle approaching the highway exit possibly as early as August 25th.

Police are urging motorists who were travelling in the area to check if they have dashcam footage from between August 25th and August 30th.
