The girl was struck by a Honda while riding a skateboard on the roadway in Ancaster shortly before 9 p.m. on April 25. She was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The 21-year-old driver remained at the scene, and no charges have been laid in the incident.

In late April, the victim was identified by family as Isabella Brink-Read in a GoFundMe campaign launched by a cousin.
The family said the injured teen had been “in and out” of surgeries to aid head, pelvis and spinal injuries.
“We are so sad that it came to this, but have comfort in knowing that she is at peace and will always be with us,” organizer Cecilia Brink said in a post on Friday.
