Police are looking for witnesses after a young child was hit by an SUV in a hit-and-run crash in Airdrie on Thursday night.
Airdrie RCMP say the crash happened around 5:43 p.m. on Cobblestone Blvd, where two children were helping their mother shovel snow from the sidewalk.
According to police, a gold Acura SUV veered off the road, hitting the child, then crashed into a tree before speeding away southbound.
The 6-year-old child suffered minor injuries.
Investigators believe the vehicle had two occupants, a female driver described as 16 to 20 years old with medium‑coloured skin and wearing a white toque, and a male passenger believed to be between 16 and 18.
The SUV was later found abandoned and has been seized by RCMP.
Anyone who witnessed the incident or can identify the suspects is urged to contact Airdrie RCMP at 403‑945‑7267. Anonymous tips can be submitted through Crime Stoppers.
