Coquitlam RCMP is asking for the community’s help in identifying the driver of a white Nissan Murano who could be an important witness to a fatal crash involving a motorcycle.
The crash happened just after 5 p.m. on Aug. 1 at the intersection of Como Lake Avenue and Porter Street in Coquitlam.
A 54-year-old motorcyclist died when he collided with a grey SUV that was turning left from eastbound Como Lake Avenue to northbound on Porter Street.
At the moment the collision happened, a Nissan Murano was turning left from westbound Como Lake Avenue to southbound on Porter Street.
Police said the driver likely saw the accident and could provide important details.
“This person is not suspected of any wrong-doing whatsoever," said Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin. "As police we want to get the best information that we can."
The Murano can be described as having:
• a white body with black, five-spoke wheels;
• a sunroof;
• after-market running boards;
• and a sticker or decal in the passenger-side rear window.
Investigators have also determined that the Murano is a 2003 to 2007 model.
Anybody who was in the Nissan Murano, or anyone who saw the collision and has not yet spoken to police, is asked to call a dedicated Coquitlam RCMP tip line at 604-552-7370.
