Police are seeking the public’s assistance in locating witnesses to a motor vehicle collision on April 18 at 4 p.m. on the corner of Duncan Avenue and Fairview Road.

A silver truck collided with a cyclist, sending the cyclist to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The male driver did stop, identify himself and left the scene.

“Oddly enough, we believed at this point that the information that he gave was incorrect,” said Cpl. Ted Manchulenko with the Penticton RCMP.

RCMP are looking for a silver truck towing a flat deck trailer with a male driver.

Anyone with information can contact the Penticton RCMP at 250-492-4300 or submit tips anonymously with Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

“Also if this person perhaps forgot his name or gave a wrong name, if he would like to come forward; if the person involved could see his way to come and see us and give us further information that would be good too,” Manchulenko said.
