Calgary police have laid charges in a hit-and-run in Pineridge that left a teenage girl with life-threatening injuries.
The hit-and-run occurred in the 100 block of Pinemill Mews N.E. just after 4 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 28.

"The driver attempted to leave while the pedestrian was holding on to the vehicle. The pedestrian fell and was subsequently run over by the vehicle," police said in a Wednesday news release.

Paramedics transported girl to hospital in critical condition.
On Wednesday, following a four-month investigation, police announced a 17-year-old had been charged.

He is scheduled to appear in court on July 12.
