POLICE – After near miss, driver circles back and strikes pedestrian

Kamloops RCMP are turning to the public for help identifying a vehicle that struck and injured a pedestrian in the Columbia Place parking lot in Sahali.

On Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, at about 6:30 p.m. two pedestrians were walking in the parking lot at 1200-block of Summit Drive.  A light-coloured SUV drove past the pair rather closely and in response to the near miss one of the pair waved their hands in the air.

The vehicle circled the lot again coming very close to them.  On the third lap the driver allegedly struck one of the pedestrians causing serious but non-life-threatening injuries, including a broken leg. During the incident the driver shouted at the pedestrians.

“Police are seeking witnesses and video relating to this incident,” said Cpl. Dana Napier, Kamloops RCMP Spokesperson.  “Anyone who may have been in the area and saw this or who may have video of the area during that time is asked to please contact police.”

This file remains under investigation and police are asking the public to come forward with any information they may have by calling the Kamloops RCMP Detachment at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) and cite file 2026-3870.
