A 71-year-old Chatham man is recovering in a London hospital, after he was severely injured in a hit-and-run earlier this week.
Police say he was struck by a car at the intersection of McNaughton Ave. W and Crane Dr. in Chatham on Wednesday night, but the driver fled the scene before officers arrived.
Investigators have since located the suspect, and charged a 19-year-old Chatham man.
The victim remains in the critical care trauma unit at Victoria Hospital.
Although an arrest has been made, witnesses are still being asked to come forward. Anyone with information should contact police or Crime Stoppers.
