Calgary police say a vehicle sent a teen to hospital with life-threatening injuries Wednesday, and they are looking for the driver.

It happened around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday at 1 Street NW and 11 Avenue in front of Crescent Heights High School.

Officers say a “black Audi” was travelling at high speed and struck a 14-year-old boy, sending him flying 25 metres from where he stood.

EMS took the boy to Foothills Hospital with serious life-threatening injuries.
