A 17-year-old male has been charged with allegedly striking a pedestrian after running a red light in Riverdale last month.
Toronto police were called to a serious collision in the Pape and Lipton avenues area just before 8:30 p.m. on Sept. 23.
It’s alleged the 17-year-old was driving northbound on Pape Avenue, ran through a red light and struck a 24-year-old man who was crossing Pape from the west side at Lipton.
The pedestrian suffered life-threatening injuries in the crash.
Police say the youth turned himself in to police on Oct. 16 and has been charged with dangerous operation of a conveyance causing bodily harm and failure to stop at the scene of an accident.
He is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 26.
