A man in his twenties is dead after a fatal hit-and-run on the west side of Vancouver early Sunday morning.
Two men were skateboarding in the 6900-block of Heather Street and West 54th Avenue around 2:30 a.m. when a northbound car struck one of them. The driver than fled the scene without stopping.
The young skateboarder, a man from Ontario, was rushed to hospital but later died.
Images from the scene showed a broken skateboard and a backpack lying on the ground.
The VPD is looking for an older silver Mitsubishi car with new driver’s side front-end and wheel damage that is believed to have been involved in the accident.

The cause of the collision has not yet been determined, and police are asking the driver to come forward.
