The RCMP on Bell Island are seeking the public's assistance in relation to a serious hit and run that occurred on Aug. 19.

Around 11 p.m., several female pedestrians were struck by a vehicle in the area of Davidson and 10 Commandments streets. They sustained multiple injuries with one being transported to the Janeway children’s hospital with serious injuries to her leg and head.

Police say the driver fled the scene. The alleged vehicle was located several hours later abandoned on the airport strip on the north side of the island.

“This was a very serious accident that narrowly missed being a tragic incident.,” the RCMP said in a news release.

This person has no concience that is the problem, I am the older sister of the girl that got taken to the janeway that night. This weekend I confronted the one who was driving the car saying to him "you know you hit her so why haven't you gone to the police and told them the truth? " he looked at me an point blankly told me "I know" if this man was any man at all he would go to the police when he is sober an tell them the truth rather than be out at bars drinking like nothing happened. I find it hard to believe that he can go on living like he did nothing when my sister is the one that is at home unable to play volleyball which she loves and hopping around on one foot because the top of it looks like cornflakes crushed up. As well I would like to add if any of the residence of bell island had a concience they would speak up about seeing him driving the car, and not act like no one see anything. If it was your sister, daughter granddaughter or mother how would you feel about the guilty getting away with it?

This young girl is a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter, a niece & a cousin who is very lucky to be alive today. but you want to know what the one(s) who hit her are still out driving & partying like nothing ever happened. The next family may not be as lucky as they are, the next family may have to bury there child. So if you seen something that night or know something go to the RCMP, who know's you maybe that next family.
