Vancouver police have issued a public appeal for information to locate a specific vehicle connected to a deadly hit-and-run incident in the city's Downtown Eastside last month. This case is part of a concerning series of three separate and unsolved hit-and-run collisions that have occurred in Vancouver within a recent seven-week period.
Search for White Range Rover After Fatal Collision
The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) is actively searching for a white Range Rover Evoque. Investigators say this vehicle failed to remain at the scene after striking a pedestrian on December 7, 2025.
The collision happened at approximately 7:23 p.m. at the intersection of East Hastings Street and Dunlevy Avenue. According to police, a man was crossing the street when he was hit by two vehicles traveling westbound.
While one driver stopped and cooperated with authorities, the other motorist, believed to be operating the white Range Rover, fled the area. Police have released both a photograph and video footage of the SUV traveling near the intersection of Main and Hastings streets.
"This vehicle likely sustained damage to the front fender or passenger-side mirror as a result of striking the pedestrian," said VPD spokeswoman Constable Megan Lui in an official statement. "If you’ve seen the vehicle, or know the whereabouts of the driver, we’re asking you to please call our investigators."
A Pattern of Unsolved Hit-and-Run Cases
This tragic event is not isolated. The VPD confirms it is one of three serious hit-and-run incidents that remain unsolved since late November, though they are not believed to be related.
On November 27, 2025, a 40-year-old man was seriously injured in another hit-and-run. The incident occurred between 7:00 and 7:10 p.m. near Graveley Street and Slocan Avenue. The victim was struck by a light-grey or silver 2010 to 2012 Acura RDX, dragged by the vehicle, and suffered life-altering injuries. He was reported to be in stable but serious condition in hospital.
In a third case, an 81-year-old woman died after being hit by a vehicle on December 22, 2025, at the intersection of Rupert Street and Euclid Avenue. The driver fled northbound on Rupert Street. While police have located and seized a vehicle connected to this crash, they continue to seek additional information from the public.
Appeal for Public Assistance
The Vancouver Police Department is urging anyone with information—whether about the white Range Rover, the Acura RDX, or the December 22nd fatal collision—to come forward. Even small details could be crucial to the investigations.
Authorities are asking residents and business owners in the affected areas to check any personal surveillance or dashcam footage that might have captured relevant vehicles or events.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the VPD’s collision investigators directly at 604-717-3012. All tips can be provided anonymously.
