Ottawa police are asking the public for help identifying a driver involved in a fatal hit-and-run collision in the city’s west end.

The Ottawa Police Service said the collision occurred near West Hunt Club Road and Merivale Road on October 2. A 21-year-old woman who was riding a motorcycle was taken to hospital after the crash but later died from her injuries.

Investigators have identified the vehicle involved as a dark-coloured Ford Escape with front-end damage, particularly around the right-side fog-light area. Police say the vehicle left the scene following the collision.

Authorities are also trying to locate the driver of a red pickup truck that was in the area at the time. Police describe that person as a potential witness, not a suspect, and are asking them to come forward.

Ottawa police are urging anyone with dashcam, surveillance or other video footage from the area to contact investigators as the fatal collision investigation continues.
