A warrant has been issued for a 20-year-old man in connection with a Sunday afternoon hit-and-run in Lethbridge that injured two adults and two children.

Emergency crews were called to the 1000 block of Mayor Magrath Drive South shortly after 1 p.m. after an eastbound vehicle on 9 Avenue was struck from behind while making a right-hand turn.

The four occupants of the turning vehicle — the 40-year-old male driver, a 39-year-old female passenger, a seven-year-old child and a five-year-old child — suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the crash.

Witnesses told police that two people who had been in the second vehicle were spotted running from the crash scene. Officers searched the area but were unable to locate them.

• Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle;
• Failure to remain at the scene of a collision;
