The Snuneymuxw First Nation is calling on the driver who struck and killed a young man along Harmac Road south of Nanaimo last week to come forward so the grieving family and community can have closure.
Charles Tommy, 21, a member of the Snuneymuxw, was walking home from fishing in the early evening of Oct. 24 when he was hit by a vehicle. The driver sped from the scene and Tommy — the father of a seven-month-old baby — died on the side of the road.
Snuneymuxw First Nation Chief Michael Wyse said he was “deeply saddened by the loss of our Snuneymuxw relative” and had a direct message to the driver. “I urge you to come forward. You still have the power to give his family and our community some peace and closure.”
