In the early hours of a holiday weekend on Saturday April 19th, 2003, at approximately 3:42 am, BC Highway Patrol said a truck driver located the body of 37-year-old Susan Davidson from 100 Mile House.
“Susan was located in the right lane of the Southbound lanes on Highway 97 just south of the junction with Highway 24.” Corporal Melissa Jongema said, “Susan had been fatally struck by a vehicle that subsequently fled from the scene.”
Police determine that Davidson left a residence in the 94 Mile area at approximately 3:15 am.
“The truck driver located her approximately 10 kilometres south of 100 Mile House on Highway 97 and immediately notified police. Paramedics attended but tragically she was pronounced deceased at the scene,” Jongema said.
The area where she was located was rural, a lightly developed area at the time with no street lights.
Police said she was wearing a dark brown oilskin ankle length coat, similar to an Australian Outback coat.
BC Highway Patrol is asking anyone with information about the hit and run, or anyone who may have hit something they thought as an animal that night, to call BC Highway Patrol 250-395-2456 and refer to file 2003-1225.
