Edmonton Police Release CCTV Footage in Search for Hit-and-Run Vehicle
The Edmonton Police Service has launched a public appeal for information regarding a disturbing hit-and-run incident that left two men injured, including one who was knocked from his wheelchair. The collision occurred on October 25, 2025, in northside Edmonton, with investigators now releasing CCTV footage in hopes of identifying the suspect vehicle.
Details of the Incident
According to police reports, the incident involved a red four-door SUV that turned onto a residential street before striking the two pedestrians. Security camera footage captured the moment the vehicle made contact with the victims, one of whom was using a wheelchair at the time of the collision. The impact was severe enough to displace the man from his mobility device.
The driver failed to stop at the scene and fled immediately after the collision, leaving both men requiring medical attention. Emergency services responded to the location, but the suspect vehicle had already disappeared from the area by the time officers arrived.
Police Investigation and Public Appeal
Edmonton Police have been conducting an extensive investigation since the October incident, examining traffic camera footage and conducting neighborhood canvasses. The released CCTV images show the distinct red SUV that investigators believe is directly connected to the hit-and-run.
Police are urging anyone with information about the vehicle or the incident to come forward. "We're particularly interested in speaking with anyone who may have witnessed the collision or who has information about a red SUV with recent front-end damage," stated an EPS spokesperson. The investigation continues as police work to identify both the vehicle and the driver responsible.
This incident highlights ongoing concerns about pedestrian safety in Edmonton, particularly for individuals with mobility challenges. The EPS reminds drivers of their legal obligation to remain at the scene of any collision and render assistance to those injured.
