Mounties in Kelowna are still searching for a suspect after a 14-year-old boy was hit by a car while riding his skateboard around town.

The reported hit-and-run occurred on April 11 in the 800 block on Thompson Road.

It was around 10 p.m. when the boy was hit, police said.

He was riding north on a skateboard when he was hit by a dark Ford sedan on its way south.

The boy said the vehicle did not stop but a local resident heard what happened and provided help.

An ambulance took the boy to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police said the sedan could have “front damage” following the incident.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call either the Kelowna RCMP or the Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at 1-800-222-TIPS.
