Police say a 46-year-old Calgary man has been charged in connection with an incident that happened last year. Investigators say that at approximately 2:15 A.M. on Oct. 1, a 35-year-old man was crossing 50 Avenue SW, between 1 Street SW and Macleod Trail, when he was struck by a light-colored truck. The truck driver then drove through the intersection, turned right and fled. About 20 minutes later, the injured pedestrian was discovered by another driver and taken to hospital, where he died a few days later. On Oct. 13, police arrested a suspect and seized a vehicle, a silver 2007 Dodge Ram, in connection with the investigation. Investigators say that “after a lengthy investigation,” charges have now been laid. The suspect, who was 45 when he was initially arrested, is charged with the hit and run that caused death. Calgary police are not releasing further details, including the name of the suspect, due to a publication ban on the case. Anyone with additional information about the incident is asked to contact police at 403-266-1234.
