Halifax police have released images of a vehicle believed to have struck a teen in Bedford, N.S., last month in a hit-and-run case.
The 15-year-old boy was standing at a bus stop at the corner of Lodge Drive and Bedford Highway at around 8:20 p.m. on Jan. 28 when he says he was hit by a vehicle.
Images shared by Halifax Regional Police show a white SUV, possibly a Mazda CX-5, believed to have been involved in the incident.
The teen, Vincente Moreira, told Global News at the time that the impact left him with a concussion, a broken collarbone and bruises.
