Airdrie Mounties are asking for the public's assistance in identifying a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run earlier this afternoon in which a toddler was struck by a vehicle. 

According to police, near noon, police were informed of a hit and run that took place in the parking lot of the Superstore at 300 Veterans Boulevard in Airdrie.

"According to the complaint, a two-year-old broke loose from her parent, ran in the parking lot and was struck by the front driver side of a vehicle, who failed to remain on scene. The child did not appear to have any serious injuries," police said.

Mounties are now looking for an older model navy blue hatchback, possibly a Subaru Justy, Mazda 323 or similar vehicle, and the driver.

The driver was described as a male with a pale complexion, being in their mid-20s or early 30s as well as having black hair and a beard.

Anyone with information regarding the vehicle or the driver is asked to please come forth. Furthermore, anyone with dashcam footage from the area surrounding the Superstore from May 17, 2024, between 11:15 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. is asked to please review the footage and submit anything that could help.
