Vancouver police are appealing to the public to help find an SUV they believe struck a cyclist on the Granville Bridge on Friday.

A 21-year-old was hit as he was riding northbound in the curb lane. He was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The driver did not remain at the scene, according to a police statement. The vehicle was last seen taking the Seymour exit off the bridge.

On Wednesday, Const. Jason Doucette said video evidence and witness accounts identify the SUV as asilver, newer model Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Itwas damaged in the collision and is likely missing a tail light, Doucette said.

"We think someone's going to recognize this.Now, maybe even the driver is going to realize, 'Okay,someone was injured here, Ithink Iwas a part of it, Ishould come forward and speak to police and provide my version of events.'"

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact investigators.
