Kelowna police need help finding orange Infinity car in hit and run of cyclist

KELOWNA – A cyclist was taken to hospital after a hit and run early Saturday morning and now police need help finding the vehicle.

The female cyclist, in her 50s, was hit from behind while cycling up Clifton Road shortly after 7 a.m. July 27. She was taken by ambulance to hospital, luckily without serious injury. The driver of the vehicle didn't stop to help. 

Police think the vehicle is a 10- to 15-year-old orange Infinity FX35 or FX45. They are similar looking vehicles. The photo included with this story is only an example.

“Investigators also believe that the suspect vehicle will have notable damage to the front passenger quarter panel and wheel well,” RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey said in a release.
