Hamilton police are searching for the driver of a maroon pickup truck towing a boat trailer after an 8-year-old girl was seriously injured in a hit-and-run collision in Stoney Creek.
The incident occurred around 7:30 p.m. Monday near Barton Street and McNeilly Road. Officers say the child was riding her scooter along Barton Street when she was struck by the pickup truck, which then fled the area without stopping.
The girl was transported to hospital with serious injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.
Investigators are asking the driver involved to come forward and are appealing to witnesses or anyone with dashcam or surveillance footage from the area to contact Hamilton police as the investigation continues.
