Teen hospitalized after hit and run

A Cornwall Island teenager was transported to an Ottawa children’s hospital this weekend following an alleged hit and run accident.

According to the victim’s family, the teen girl was struck by a plow truck on Cornwall Island. They believe that an Akwesasne male has since turned himself into police.

The Akwesasne Mohawk Police Service said they are preparing to release information on the incident and expected to issue a statement by Tuesday of this week, but hadn’t yet as of Wednesday.

The victim suffered internal injuries and remains hospitalized.

Additional details will be printed as they become available.
