Several days after a woman from Canmore was struck and killed by a vehicle on Highway 1, RCMP say they are still seeking public information to find the driver that hit her.
Canmore RCMP were called to the scene of a fatal crash involving a pedestrian along Highway 1 in the early morning hours of May 1.
The victim, a 20-year-old woman from Canmore, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Loved ones on social media identified her as Ariana (Ari) Blackwood, who turned 20 on the day that she died.
"Ari was a kind, gentle, loving, intelligent friend to all who were lucky enough to know her. She always made time for everyone who reached out no matter what they needed," the Facebook post reads.
"We are absolutely heartbroken and devastated at this tragic loss. We are reaching out for help and asking for anyone who may have any information or may have seen anything to please come forward and contact the local detachment of the Canmore RCMP."
