RCMP have released new images of the man believed to be responsible for the hit-and-run death of a 45-year-old woman over the weekend.

Mounties were attempting to stop a U-Haul that had reportedly rammed an RCMP cruiser on Saturday night when they laid a spike belt in the area of 50 Street and Highway 814 in Beaumont.

Kassandra Gartner, who was not involved in the police pursuit, got out of her vehicle after hitting the spike belt.

She was hit and killed by the U-Haul, which did not stop after striking her.

According to police, the U-Haul continued after hitting Gartner, slamming into another vehicle.

The man in that vehicle was taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
