One person was injured following an alleged hit-and-run in Chilliwack on Saturday.

The collision happened around 2:45 p.m. on Oct. 29 at Wellington Avenue and Corbould Street.

When the Chilliwack Fire Department arrived on scene, they stated one person was out of their vehicle and they had suffered a leg injury.

It was reported that the driver of the other vehicle fled the scene going westbound on Wellington Avenue.

RCMP was also on scene, and by 3:09 p.m. BC Ambulance Service was also on scene.

It’s not the first time there has been a collision at that intersection. Three years ago, on Oct. 30, 2019, a woman and boy were injured when the driver of a vehicle ran the four-way stop.

At that crash in 2019, a witness and resident who lives at the intersection said that drivers do not stop at the four-way stop sign “all the time.”
