Man arrested in Quebec after fatal B.C. hit and run in 2025 near Oliver

Oct 29, 2026 | 5:32 PM

DRUMMONDVILLE — A man wanted in a fatal 2025 hit and run in British Columbia has been arrested in Quebec.

Police say the man was arrested by RCMP with help from the Quebec provincial police on Oct. 14 near Drummondville, about 100 kilometres northeast of Montreal.

The man has since been transported back to B.C., where he is facing one count of failure to remain at the scene of a crash.

The collision happened on June 15, 2025, near Oliver, when the BC Highway Patrol responded to a single-vehicle crash near the Cassini Winery.

A 22-year-old male pedestrian was struck in the collision and died at the scene, and the driver involved did not remain there.
