Victoria police say a vehicle that resembles a car involved in a hit-and-run crash that sent a woman to hospital on Thursday morning has been seized.
The crash occurred around 9 a.m. Thursday when a car reportedly drove through a red light and crashed into a woman who was walking along a marked crosswalk.
The victim told CTV News that she spotted the car just before the crash occurred.
"I waited until the light changed to walk and as I was walking I noticed the vehicle approaching quickly and realized it wasn't stopping and that's when it struck me," said Kimberlyn Slattery on Thursday.
Video of the crash was shared online by police Thursday afternoon. Around 10 p.m. Thursday night, police say a community member spotted a vehicle they thought looked like the one involved in the crash and reported it to police.
VicPD officers went to the car and noted damage that was consistent with the crash, police say.
The vehicle, a MINI, was then towed to police storage for review by forensic identification officers and VicPD's collision reconstruction team.
No arrests related to the incident have been made yet.
