POLICE – Call for public’s help renewed in case of pedestrian struck by SUV

Kamloops RCMP are renewing their appeal for the public’s help in identifying a vehicle that struck and injured a pedestrian in the Columbia Place parking lot in Sahali.

At about 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026,  two pedestrians were walking in the parking lot of the shopping centre at 1200-block of Summit Drive.  A light-coloured SUV drove past the pair, coming close to them, and in response to the near miss one of them waved their hands up into 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.  During the incident the driver of the vehicle shouted out at the pedestrians.

“Police are re-asking the public to go back and review any dash camera, or video footage in the area near the time of the incident,” said RCMP Cpl. Dana Napier.

“We are asking 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.”

The 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.
