A 77-year-old man has come forward to police in Mission after four people taking part in a memorial march on Saturday were hit by a pickup truck in that Fraser Valley city.

RCMP say the driver is not in custody but his truck has been seized by investigators.

Participants attending the March for Recognition for Residential Schools temporarily blocked the only eastbound lane of the Lougheed Highway through Mission while walking to the site of the former St. Mary's residential school.

An initial release from the Mounties said an ``impatient'' driver tried to pass the march and made contact with four people who suffered injuries police described as minor, but they now say the event was traumatizing for those in the march and they are appealing for further witnesses.
