Calgary police say some progress has been made in the investigation of a hit-and-run that left a 10-year-old boy with serious injuries, but more information is needed from an additional source to determine what happened.
On Friday, June 23, around 8:30 p.m., a blue Dodge Ram truck pulling a utility trailer was going east on Savanna Boulevard NE.
At the same time, a young boy was riding an electric scooter along Savanna Boulevard in the same direction as the truck. He was then struck near the intersection of Savanna Gardens.
The driver of the truck didn’t stop or remain at the scene following the incident.
Police explain that after the boy was hit, Good Samaritans assisted him on the walk home, where emergency medical services later arrived.
