Calgary police have charged a driver in connection with a fatal hit-and-run collision over two weeks ago that killed a 15-year-old boy.
On May 13 at 2:30 a.m., a 2008 Buick Allure rear-ended a speeding 2010 Dodge Journey heading south on 52 Street near the interchange with 16 Avenue N.E., police said.
The Dodge Journey crossed the median and a boy was thrown from the vehicle. Ibaad Yar, 15, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said the Buick driver stayed “for a short time before fleeing.” Officers found the vehicle with no one inside in the Saddleridge area later that day.
Udham Sandhu, 37, the Buick driver, was charged with second-degree murder and dangerous driving causing death, police said in a Friday news release. His next court appearance is set for June 4.
Police said a second person taken into custody on Thursday was released without charges.
