Cochrane RCMP have laid charges in a deadly pedestrian hit and run in Morley, Alta., last week.
Police were called to Morley Road on Jan. 3 for reports of a fatal collision. When they arrived, RCMP found a 40-year-old woman dead.
According to RCMP, the vehicle thought to be involved in the deadly crash returned to the scene and the people inside approached officers.
An unnamed 19-year-old Morley woman has been charged with failure to stop after an accident causing death, driving without a licence, driving without insurance and possession of stolen property under $5,000.
“The investigation into the cause of the collision continues, however, police believe speed played a role and further charges are pending,” RCMP said in a news release. “Alcohol was not a factor in this collision.”
Anyone who may have witnessed the crash is asked to call Cochrane RCMP at 403-851-8000 or to contact Crime Stoppers anonymously.
Morley is located about 50 kilometres west of Calgary.
