Police have charged a man from North Dumfries after a hit-and-run earlier this month.

Emergency services responded to a collision on Wrigley Road near Dumfries Road on Jan. 2 around 6:10 a.m.

Waterloo Regional Police Service said a female jogger was hit from behind while she was running on the east side of the road. The eastbound vehicle did not stop after the collision.

A team from Region of Waterloo Paramedic Services took the woman to hospital with serious, but not-life-threatening, injuries.

On Monday, police arrested a 27-year-old man and charged him with public mischief and failing to stop after an accident resulting in bodily harm.
