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.
