The Calgary Police Service (CPS) Traffic Section are investigating a serious-injury hit-and-run collision involving teen.

In a Monday press release, CPS said the collision occurred over the weekend in the northeast community of Pineridge. The release said “On Sunday, Jan. 28, 2024, at approximately 4:10am, a collision occurred near the intersection of 22 Avenue N.E. and the 100 block of Pinemill Mews N.E.”

The police believes a dispute occurred between the occupants of a vehicle and a 16-year-old female pedestrian. According to the police, the driver attempted to leave while the pedestrian was holding on to the vehicle. The pedestrian fell and was subsequently run over by the vehicle.

“The driver and other occupants checked on the pedestrian, but then returned to the vehicle and left the scene. The pedestrian sustained serious injuries and was transported to hospital, where she remains in critical condition”, said the release.

The police eventually found the vehicle later in the day and seized it. The police said, “The driver, a 16-year-old male, came forward and has spoken to investigators. The other occupants of the vehicle have yet to be identified.”
