Ontario Provincial Police are turning to the public for help in an unsolved hit-and-run incident that occurred in Arnprior last November, leaving a pedestrian with injuries.
Details of the Incident
The incident took place in November 2025 in the town of Arnprior, located west of Ottawa. According to the OPP, a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle that then fled the scene. The victim sustained injuries as a result of the collision. Police have released limited specific details about the exact location or time of day, but confirm the investigation remains active.
Appeal for Information
In an appeal published on December 31, 2025, investigators made a direct call for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward. This includes individuals who may have been driving in the area at the time and have dashcam footage, or residents with home security cameras that could have captured relevant activity. The OPP has not released a description of the suspect vehicle.
"We are seeking any leads that could help identify the vehicle and driver involved," an OPP statement indicated. The lack of an arrested suspect nearly two months after the incident underscores the challenge investigators face without public cooperation.
Community Impact and Next Steps
Hit-and-run collisions pose a significant threat to public safety, particularly for vulnerable road users like pedestrians. The OPP's renewed appeal highlights the importance of community assistance in solving crimes where few immediate clues are available. Failure to remain at the scene of a collision is a serious criminal offence in Canada.
Anyone with information related to the Arnprior hit-and-run is urged to contact the Renfrew County Ontario Provincial Police or Crime Stoppers anonymously. Even a small piece of information could be crucial to advancing the investigation and holding the responsible driver accountable.
