SURREY — The suspect vehicle in a fatal hit-and-run in Newton may be a 2010 or 2011 grey Honda CRV, Surrey RCMP said Wednesday afternoon.
They're appealing for public assistance in locating the vehicle and driver involved in a pedestrian hit-and-run Monday morning (March 14) that left a 57-year-old Surrey woman dead.
The accident happened on King George Boulevard near 83rd Avenue at around 6:45 a.m. Monday, and the boulevard was closed in both directions.

"If you are the driver involved, or know who this person is, we ask you to do the right thing and contact our investigators immediately."
