Police looking for witnesses in pedestrian death on 881

A portion of Highway 881 just north of the weigh-scale rest area near the Bold Center. RCMP say a person's body was found along the highway, an apparent victim of a pedestrian and vehicle collision. Police are looking for witnesses and any information as they continue to investigate

Auto-body shops in the Lac La Biche region are being asked to keep an eye out for anyone bringing in a vehicle with damage that may be consistent with a collision that killed a pedestrian on Highway 881 north of Lac La Biche last Monday night.

Witnesses

Lac La Biche RCMP are also saying they are interested in speaking with a man who witnesses say was seen by a vehicle near the scene. They are asking anyone who may have been driving along the stretch of highway near the weigh scales and rest area east of the Bold Center to the intersection of Lakeland Drive, between 10:30 pm and midnight on July 24 to review dash-cam footage or contact the detachment if they saw anything that could help.

RCMP have not released the age or gender of the person who was killed, only saying that just before midnight on Monday, officers were dispatched to the highway near Range Road 132 where they found an "unidentified deceased person."

Anyone with information can contact Lac La Biche RCMP at 780-404-2500 or their local police. Anonymous tips can be given through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
