Calgary Police seek public assistance identifying a suspect in a hit-and-run that took place early Friday morning.

Around 2:15 a.m., a pedestrian was in the westbound lanes of 50 Street S.W. between 1 and 2 Ave. when a light-coloured pickup truck travelling west hit him.

The injured pedestrian, a 35-year-old man, was discovered by a motorist at 2:35 a.m. He was taken to hospital with serious life-threatening injuries.
