Delta police are asking for witnesses to a hit-and-run that occurred in Tsawwassen this evening.
According to a DPD press release, at approximately 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 23, a middle-aged woman was hit by vehicle while walking in a crosswalk in the 5500-block of 12th Avenue. The woman has been transported to hospital with serious injuries.
