Guelph police were called about a hit-and-run  collision that occurred in a parking lot off Clair Road East around 8:30 p.m. Wednesday.

A witness told investigators that they saw a hatchback reverse into a parked SUV. They also saw the driver and passenger switch seats in the hatchback before fleeing.

Investigators say one of the occupants, a 16-year-old male from Puslinch, borrowed the car from his father and took it out for a drive.

They say he apparently let his unlicensed friend, another 16-year-old, drive the vehicle which led to the collision.

Police haven’t announced any charges and the investigation remains ongoing.
