Calgary Police say a ten year old who died following a hit and run crash in the northwest was not wearing a seatbelt. It happened at about 10:30 last night on westbound Highway 1, near Valleyridge.
Police say a Pontiac Grand Am was struck from behind by a Kia Sedona mini-van.
The force of the collision caused the car to spin out of control, and then flip and roll into the ditch.
The young girl was ejected from the vehicle and died later in hospital.
The driver of the Kia fled the scene, heading westbound.
Police are investigating whether speed or alcohol were factors.
They're asking any witnesses to the crash to come forward.
