A screen grab taken from CCTV footage of the pickup involved in a hit and run accident in Pasea, Tunapuna, on Thursday.

Po­lice of­fi­cers are look­ing for the dri­ver who was in­volved in a hit and run near the Pasea Road in­ter­sec­tion along the Churchill Roo­sevelt High­way in Tu­na­puna on Thurs­day.

The vic­tim, whose name is yet to be dis­closed, is a man said to be in his 70s. He sus­tained se­ri­ous in­juries to the feet and low­er body.

The ve­hi­cle in ques­tion was iden­ti­fied as a black Chevy Col­orado, li­censed TDR 9925.

Po­lice said ac­cord­ing to an eye­wit­ness, at about noon the dri­ver of the van knocked down the man who was at­tempt­ing to cross the high­way in the midst of traf­fic. Po­lice said the man man­aged to get up and went to the shoul­der where he lay down.

The eye­wit­ness told po­lice that the van dri­ver, re­al­is­ing what hap­pened, be­gan to shout at the man, telling him he need­ed to look where he was go­ing. The dri­ver then drove off, leav­ing the man ly­ing on the ground.

The man sub­se­quent­ly got up from the mid­dle of the road­way and went to the side of the road. He was bleed­ing from both feet.

Po­lice said a mo­torist pulled over and went to the aid of the vic­tim.

The man was then tak­en to the Tu­na­puna Po­lice Sta­tion where an of­fi­cial re­port was lodged. The vic­tim was then tak­en to the hos­pi­tal for treat­ment.

Any­one who has in­for­ma­tion on the where­abouts of the dri­ver is asked to con­tact the near­est po­lice sta­tion, 555, 800 TIPS or 482 GARY.
