One person had to be removed from her vehicle using the Jaws of Life following an alleged hit-and-run collision in Chilliwack on Wednesday.

The incident happened shortly before 2 p.m. on Oct. 5 on Yale Road West between Royalwood Drive and Chadsey Road.

When emergency crews arrived on scene, they reported a woman was trapped in her vehicle.

Soon after, they stated the person who hit the vehicle left the scene eastbound on Yale Road in a blue Honda Civic. It was later reported by RCMP, that it was a black Civic.

Traffic was blocked in both directions as crews tended to the woman.
