Police have seized a vehicle they believe was involved with a hit-and-run in Calgary that sent a teen to hospital.
At just after 7 p.m. on Oct. 17, a 17-year-old pedestrian was crossing 16 Avenue N.W. at 46 Street N.W., with the crosswalk signal activated.
Brandon Taylor was taken to Alberta Children’s Hospital in life-threatening condition after being hit by a vehicle described as a light-coloured SUV.
“Police were telling me the vehicle that hit him, they don’t have a passenger side mirror anymore,” step-father Jason Poirier told Global News on Oct. 21.

“Brandon’s face took the full hit of it and it sent him flying ten feet, and the person just kept driving.”
Calgary police said Taylor’s condition has since been upgraded to stable.
CPS investigators received the help of a witness and Cochrane RCMP to locate and seize the SUV, pending warrants and further examination.
