Peterborough police have charged a Kawartha Lakes woman in connection with a fatal hit-and-run incident in the city earlier this year.
At around 1:15 a.m. on April 16, officers responded to a 9-1-1 call from a driver on Monaghan Road just north of Albert Street.
After arriving at the scene, officers learned the driver had called 9-1-1 after noticing a man on the road who had been been struck by a a vehicle.
While the driver was on the phone with 9-1-1, another vehicle struck the man. That vehicle stopped briefly, but left before police arrived. It was described to police as a lifted pick-up truck with blue underglow LED lighting.
The victim, a 42-year-old Peterborough man, was taken to Peterborough Regional Health Centre where he was pronounced dead.
The following day, police identified both of the vehicles involved in the incident.
At the result of a six-month investigation, police have charged a 41-year-old woman from the City of Kawartha Lakes with operating a motor vehicle with no insurance, failing to report an accident, failing to remain at the scene of an accident, and failing to render assistance at the scene of an accident.
Police have not released details about whether she was driving the first or second vehicle that hit the man.
The accused woman is scheduled to appear in court to answer to the charges on December 14.
