Burnaby RCMP are asking for public assistance in helping to locate a vehicle involved in a fatal hit and run that occurred in South Burnaby on Boxing Day (Dec. 26).

RCMP were called to the intersection of Antrim Avenue and Beresford Street at approximately 5 p.m., where they found a 67- year-old female pedestrian in serious condition.

The woman was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries.

The investigation indicates that the suspect vehicle - likely a Honda- or Acura-type sports car that may be dark grey - stopped briefly at the scene before fleeing. Investigators believe the suspect vehicle will have damage on its front grill and right front fender.

The victim's name was not released pending notification of next of kin.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the Burnaby RCMP non-emergency number at 604-294-7922. Witnesses who wish to remain anonymous can contact CrimeStoppers at 604-669-8477.
