Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a suspect involved in a hit-and-run collision in Campbellford last Thursday night (November 21) that injured two pedestrians, one seriously.
At around 7:30 p.m. on November 21, Northumberland Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) responded to a report of a collision at Grand Road and Alma Street in Campbellford.
The caller said that a dark-coloured SUV had struck two female pedestrians who were crossing the road at the intersection.
A police investigation found the two women were walking north on Grand Road when they were struck by a SUV also travelling northbound on Grand Road when it turned westbound onto Alma Street.
The SUV stopped, and the female driver briefly exited the SUV before getting back into the vehicle and leaving the scene westbound on Alma Street.
Both pedestrians were transported to a local hospital by emergency medical services, where one was treated for serious injuries and the other for minor injuries.
