The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary is asking for the public’s help following a two-vehicle hit-and-run collision in Mount Pearl on March 31, 2026. The incident took place just before 11:30 p.m. near the interchange of Bruce Street and the Trans-Canada Highway.

Two people were taken to the hospital with what are believed to be minor injuries. Authorities report that the driver of the suspect vehicle, described as a white pickup truck, did not remain at the scene and was last seen travelling east on the Trans-Canada Highway.

Police have assigned collision reconstruction experts to lead the investigation. Investigators are requesting that anyone who was in the area before or after the collision check for any available video footage, including dash camera, cell phone, or surveillance recordings.

Those with information are asked to contact the police at 709-729-8000. Tips can also be reported anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
