Boy found injured after Parkland County hit-and-run

Police are looking for the driver who hit a youth pedestrian in Parkland County on Sunday.

The driver hit the boy on Larry’s Road near Range Road 15, east of the Chateau Heights community, between 8:30 p.m. and 10 p.m.

The boy was found on the road and was treated by paramedics.

The vehicle is described as an older, dark-coloured Chevrolet pickup truck that had a grey canopy and one burn-out headlight.

“Those involved may be scared; however, fleeing the scene and leaving a victim behind is egregious and unacceptable,” Const. Butcher of the Parkland RCMP said in a statement Monday. “We urge those involved to turn themselves in to the RCMP.”

Witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage of the area is asked to call Parkland RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
