(St. John’s, NL) June 12, 2024 – The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) is working to identify and locate the person responsible for a hit-and-run in St. John’s.

Yesterday (June 11) just before 7:45 p.m., a woman and her dog were struck by a truck at the intersection of Forbes Street and Bartlett Place in the city’s west end.
