Nearly a week after a letter was knocked off the end of the “Bridgeland” sign along Memorial Drive, the driver of the vehicle involved has been charged.
Calgary police confirmed that the vehicle involved in the hit-and-run that knocked the second “D” off its posts was located and the registered owner was charged with careless driving and failing to remain at the scene of an accident.
CCTV footage captured on April 19 showed an SUV skid through a snow-covered meridian, hit the sign and then steer back onto 9 Street N.E.

CPS believes the driver and vehicle were also involved in an impaired single-vehicle collision an hour after the “Bridgeland” sign was hit.
“The vehicle was seized and the driver was charged in that case with failing to comply,” a police statement read.
