Edmonton police are seeking witnesses to Wednesday’s fatal hit-and- run that claimed the life of a Good Samaritan who had stopped to help a fellow motorist.

Andrew Green, 46, had stopped to help another motorist on Anthony Henday Drive whose vehicle had broken down. Green was placing alert traffic triangles on the shoulder of the road when a passing vehicle struck him around 11:30 p.m.

Green died instantly and the driver left the scene of the collision.

Green’s mother, Una Green, said she is still in shock about her son’s death and the fact the driver fled the scene.

“That individual that did the accident should not have left the scene,” Green said from Toronto. “He should have turned himself in and [not] run away from the scene. That’s the only thing I think about.”

Charges are pending against the 36-year-old driver allegedly involved in the hit and run who turned himself into police Thursday, accompanied by his lawyer.

Police have since recovered the black 2008 Porsche Cayenne SUV that allegedly hit Green.

Anyone who witnessed the hit-and- run or saw a black Porsche Cayenne SUV driving southbound on Henday or westbound on 62 Avenue on Wednesday night is being asked to come forward and contact police at 780-423-4567 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Green said that her son’s funeral will be held in Toronto, where he grew up.
