TERRACE, B.C. - RCMP say they are making progress in the search for the driver involved in a deadly hit-and-run collision with a pedestrian early Sunday along Highway 16 in northwestern British Columbia.
Cpl. Mike Halskov with RCMP Traffic Services says additional experienced investigators have arrived in Terrace to help.
He says the suspect vehicle has been narrowed to a 2011 to 2016 Ford F350 pickup with damage to the passenger side, including the mirror.
A boat trailer that the pickup may have been towing at the time has also been recovered and police say it has damage consistent with the crash.
Halskov says in a news release that investigators believe the driver was not acting alone when the victim was hit and the suspect or that person's lawyer is urged to come forward.
The body of a man in his 30s was found in a ditch along Highway 16 just outside Terrace on Sunday, and police have already said he was likely walking on the shoulder facing traffic when he was hit before dawn.
