Wheelchair-Hit

updated Sept1/09


Fredericton police are appealing to the public for help after the death of a woman in a hit-and-run accident. Thirty-three-year-old Dianne Trottier was travelling in her motorized wheelchair when she was struck at one of the busiest intersections in the city on Saturday. On the weekend, police said witnesses reported seeing a four-door, dark grey car speeding off, but now they aren't providing a specific description of the vehicle allegedly involved. A police spokesman says there are some differing reports and investigators don't want to provide incorrect information.
