London police are once again asking the public for assistance in a pedestrian crash that claimed the life of a 35-year-old man last month.
On September 19, emergency crews were called to the crash in the area of Clarke Road and Dundas Street around 5:50 a.m. A pedestrian was found with serious injuries. The victim, 35-year-old James Francis Feeley of London, succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
One of the vehicles involved in the collision remained on scene; however, investigation revealed a second vehicle took off. The vehicle is described as an older model Dodge Caravan silver or grey in colour with damage to the front end, and a line of black trim across the sides.
In his obituary, Feeley’s family said he was an outdoorsman, a hard working labourer, a talented roofer who took great pride in his work, and loved spending time with his family.
“James was a people person that will be remembered by his warm smile and loud contagious laugh, he had a big heart that he led with throughout his life,” read his obit. “He will be remembered in this way and he will be missed dearly by his big family and many friends.”
Police are appealing to community members that may have been in the area of Clarke Road between Huron and Dundas streets between 5:40 a.m. and 6 a.m., who may have dash-cam, residential or business video surveillance that could assist with the investigation, to contact members of the London Police Service.
Anyone with information about the collision is asked to call police at 519-661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
