The teenager suffered serious, life-threatening injuries and was transported to hospital.

The driver of the Audi drove east down a nearby alley without any apparent attempts to stop. Police believe the sedan had two or three teenage males in it at the time of the incident, and the car is believed to have extensive damage to its front end following the collision.

Neither drugs nor alcohol appear to be factors in the collision, police said, but they are investigating speed as a possible factor.

CPS are asking anyone with information about the incident, including the identities of the driver or occupants of the black Audi, or anyone with video footage to call the CPS non-emergency line at 403-266-1234. Anonymous tips can be provided to Crime Stoppers.
