The 91-year-old driver who struck a pedestrian on Taylor Way and kept driving last week has been ticketed.
The incident happened on Jan. 19 when the driver of a Tesla Model X struck a 58-year-old man pushing a shopping cart across the 400 block of Taylor Way. Police put out a call for witnesses, saying it was likely the driver would have known they hit someone.
As a result of the media coverage, the driver did come forward the next day.
“He was fully co-operative with police and claimed to have been unaware that he had struck a pedestrian that morning,” said Const. Kevin Goodmurphy, West Vancouver police spokesman. “Given the facts and circumstances of the incident, as determined by the investigating officer, the driver was issued a violation ticket for [failing to remain at the scene of an accident.]”
