A 29-year-old man has been arrested following a hit and run collision that seriously injured a school-aged child in West Kildonan on August 13, 2026.

Shortly after 5:30 p.m., the Winnipeg Police Service received a report that a 2025 Dodge Ram had struck a child riding a bicycle in the 500 block of North Point Boulevard. Dispatched North District General Patrol officers along with officers from the Traffic Division learned that the child had been transported to hospital in unstable condition for injuries sustained from the collision and later upgraded to stable.

Investigators determined that the child had been riding a bicycle on a sidewalk in front of a housing complex, when they were struck by the front bumper of a Dodge Ram as it exited a parking lot and entered the roadway. The driver of the vehicle fled the scene before police were contacted.

The 29-year-old driver was later arrested without incident at his residence and now faces charges of Dangerous Operation of a Conveyance Cause Bodily Harm and Fail to Stop at the Scene of an Accident.

He was released on an Appearance Notice and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.
