A 17-year-old boy injured in a vehicle-pedestrian collision in Selkirk last week has died, RCMP confirmed Thursday.
The teen was struck on the night of October 15 while walking along Manitoba Avenue near Highway 9A with another youth, who was not hurt. The pair had been walking east along the edge of the road at around 9:30 p.m. when the crash occurred.
The victim, from the RM of St. Andrews, was airlifted to hospital in critical condition but succumbed to his injuries on Wednesday.
The driver, a 27-year-old man also from St. Andrews, was not injured.
Selkirk RCMP and a forensic collision reconstructionist continue to investigate.
