Police say two men have pleaded guilty for their roles in a fatal hit and run last year in Surrey, B.C., in which a pedestrian was struck by a vehicle and then dragged for several blocks.
Surrey police say Gaganpreet Singh and Jagdeep Singh were two of the three occupants in a red Ford Mustang that struck the male pedestrian in the early morning of Jan. 27, 2024.
Police say officers found both the vehicle and the pedestrian a few blocks away from where the hit-and-run was reported along 105th Avenue, not far from City Hall, and the victim was declared dead at the scene.
Both Gaganpreet Singh and Jagdeep Singh pleaded guilty to charges of dangerous operation of a conveyance, failure to stop after an accident with a person and interference with a dead body.
Both men are now out of police custody and awaiting sentencing scheduled for May.
The fate of the third occupant of the vehicle, who was also arrested after the crash, has not been released.
