Lethbridge Police are wanting to talk to the driver of a Pontiac Grand Am involved in a collision with a scooter on Saturday. 

It happened at around 9:45 in the morning in the Upper Eastside neighbourhood of town. 

LPS says a 26-year-old man on the rented scooter was trying to cross 13th Street South at 5th Avenue when he was hit. 

The driver did stop, got out of his vehicle, removed the scooter from the road, got back into his car, and left the scene.

Police say, at no point, did the driver check on the condition of the victim, who was transported by EMS to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The driver is described as a short, elderly, Caucasian male with grey hair and a hunched back, wearing a t-shirt and jeans. 

The vehicle is described as an early 2000s model, tan or grey Pontiac Grand Am. 

It had existing damage to driver’s side rear bumper and now, with this incident, to the passenger side front headlight area.

Police are asking the driver of the vehicle, or anyone with information about the identity of the driver, to come forward.
