Calgary motorcyclist injured in hit-and-run, accused faces more than a dozen charges - Calgary

Calgary police said a 36-year-old woman showed “a reckless disregard for public safety” after she was accused of stealing a vehicle and being involved in a hit-and-run accident that sent a motorcyclist to hospital with serious injuries.

Police said the incident began around 2:45 p.m. on Wednesday while a man was standing outside his running vehicle in the 2000 block of Erlton Road S.W..

An unknown woman jumped into the driver’s seat, but despite attempts by the man and a friend to stop the woman, she managed to get away with the vehicle.

A short time later, police received a call about a reckless driver who had rear-ended a motorcyclist near the intersection of Macleod Trail and 53 Avenue S.W..

The motorcyclist was sent to hospital in serious but stable condition.

Two minutes later, police received a report of a vehicle striking a barrier on Inglewood Point S.E. and the driver getting out of the vehicle to change her clothes.

Officers flooded into the area and located the suspect sitting on a rock along a pathway in the 1000 block of 15 Street S.E., where she was arrested.

Police claim a search of the suspect found her to be in possession of more than $30,000 worth of fentanyl and shatter (cannabis).

It was also determined that she was wanted on several outstanding warrants.

The crash, involving a motorcycle that police said was rear-ended by a stolen vehicle, shut down Macleod Trail near 53 Avenue S.W. for about two hours on Wednesday afternoon.
