Calgary police hope the public can provide information on a hit-and-run involving a 10-year-old boy last week.

On June 23 at around 8:30 p.m., police believe a pickup truck pulling a utility trailer was travelling east on Savanna Boulevard Northeast, with the boy riding an e-scooter in the same direction along the same road in Saddle Ridge.

Police believe the victim was struck near the intersection of Savanna Gardens N.E., but say the driver did not stop or remain at the scene of the accident.

Good Samaritans helped the boy as he walked home, where EMS later attended to his injuries. Since Friday, the boy’s condition deteriorated and police said he is in serious condition in hospital.
