Three Separate Hit-and-Run Incidents Leave Two Dead and One Injured in Vancouver
Tragedy struck Vancouver with a series of hit-and-run incidents, resulting in two fatalities and one individual with life-altering injuries within a month. The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) is urging the public to assist in identifying the drivers involved in these incidents.
The incidents occurred in East Vancouver between Nov. 27 and Dec. 22, 2025. The most recent event transpired on Dec. 22 on Rupert Street near Euclid Avenue. An 81-year-old woman was fatally struck by a dark grey Volkswagen Golf, manufactured in the late 1990s or early 2000s. Despite efforts to save her, she succumbed to her injuries before reaching the hospital.
In another incident on Dec. 7, a 62-year-old man was the victim of a hit-and-run involving two vehicles near East Hastings and Dunlevy Avenue. Tragically, the man passed away despite the attempts of emergency responders. Authorities are seeking the driver of a white Range Rover Evoque, who fled the scene and is believed to have damaged the front fender or passenger-side mirror.
The first incident took place on Nov. 27, when a 40-year-old man suffered severe injuries after being dragged by a vehicle near Graveley Street and Slocan Avenue. The victim remains hospitalized with life-altering injuries in stable condition. The VPD is searching for a light grey or silver 2010-2012 Acura RDX in connection with this hit-and-run.
Although these hit-and-run incidents are separate, the VPD is committed to solving each case and bringing justice to the victims and their families.
