Hamilton police say a 15-year-old girl hit by a vehicle on Old Mohawk Road in April has now died due to her injuries.
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.
“Our thoughts are with her family at this time,” Hamilton police said in a tweet.
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.
Collision reconstruction investigators say the probe into the collision has been completed.
