Police say the driver of the Evo briefly got out and checked on the injured driver of the SUV before driving out of the area. The 52-year-old man driving the Nissan was treated at hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.

“Regardless of who’s at fault in a collision, drivers are required by law to exchange information. Not only did that not happen here, but the driver of the Evo got back into his car and simply left,” said Const. Jason Doucette..

Police are circulating surveillance footage of the suspect in hopes someone recognizes him.

“We have recovered video that shows the driver of the Evo and have confirmed it was not the registered Evo client. We are asking the public to call us if they recognize the young man in the photo,” said Doucette.

Evo is a Vancouver-based car-sharing service operated by BCAA that has more than 1,200 Toyota Prius hybrid vehicles in its fleet

BCAA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Anyone with information is asked to call the VPD’s hit-and-run unit at 604-717-9360 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
