Police in Airdrie, Alberta (just north of Calgary) say this driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of the vehicle, and appeared to get upset at the teenager before driving away.

They released this video and are now trying to identify the driver.

Thanks @sgoodyear.bsky.social & @brooklynspoke.bsky.social! I didn’t expect this nice letter and cool sticker.

I think I might buy this for my parents. I think they would benefit the most from its message. They just got new bikes for the first time in 20 years.

You've got to be kidding...

Multiple vehicles assigned to Ontario cabinet ministers have been slapped with over $3,300 in speeding-related fines -- many of them caught on automated speed cameras. Average: 17 km/h over the limit.

This is all @isaaccallan.bsky.social & his FOI skills.
