Police have not said what they are investigating, but the vehicle matches the rough description of a dark sedan involved in a fatal hit-and-run in Forest Lawn last week. Police impounded the vehicle – blocking it in its parking lot in the 1500 block of Sherwood Boulevard NW since 11 a.m. Monday. The black Mercedes 500 series sedan had damage to the front of the vehicle on the passenger side – a cracked turn signal and yellow scratches along the body. The passenger side front tire also appeared to be the spare. For about six hours – until the vehicle was finally towed – the police remained parked immediately behind it. Most of the police vehicles were unmarked units.
HIT-AND-RUN INVESTIGATION CONTINUES
A 27-year-old woman was struck by a dark sedan on 17th Avenue at 44th Street SE last Thursday night. The woman was taken to hospital, where she died of her injuries on Saturday morning. The driver fled and police have been searching for the person and their vehicle ever since. Police have not confirmed that Thursday’s fatal hit-and-run was the reason police impounded the vehicle in northwest Calgary on Monday.
