Ford F350 sought in connection to hit-and-run

TERRACE (CP) — RCMP say they are making progress in the search for the driver involved in a deadly hit-and-run collision with a pedestrian early Sunday along Highway 16 in northwestern British Columbia.

Cpl. Mike Halskov with RCMP Traffic Services says additional experienced investigators have arrived in Terrace to help. He says the suspect vehicle has been narrowed to a 2011 to 2016 Ford F350 pickup with damage to the passenger side, including the mirror.

A boat trailer that the pickup may have been towing at the time has also been recovered and police say it has damage consistent with the crash. Halskov says in a news release that investigators believe the driver was not acting alone when the victim was hit and the suspect or that person’s lawyer is urged to come forward.

The body of a man in his 30s was found in a ditch along Highway 16 just outside Terrace on Sunday, and police have

already said he was likely walking on the shoulder facing traffic when he was hit before dawn.

Hells Angel murdered

SURREY (CP) — A man described by homicide investigators as a member of the Hells Angels has been identified as the victim of a suspected targeted slaying in Metro Vancouver.

Cpl. Frank Jang of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team says the body of 43-year-old Chad Wilson was found Sunday morning in Maple Ridge, where he was living. Jang says Wilson was a member of the Hells Angels and describes the killing of a member of the biker-gang as “unsettling news.”

He says detectives will be working with gang enforcement experts to avoid any retaliation.

Wilson had a previous criminal conviction in the United States stemming from a shooting in South Dakota in 2006 that injured five affiliate members of a rival motorcycle gang and Jang says officers are looking into his past.

Police are also appealing to Wilson’s friends in the Hells Angels to come forward.
