A man from Vancouver Island is facing a criminal charge in connection to a fatal hit-and-run that killed a teenager earlier this year.
The North Cowichan-Duncan RCMP says a 28-year-old man from the Cowichan Valley is accused of failing to stop at the scene of an accident causing death.
Police were called to the crash site on April 18 along the Trans-Canada Highway in Duncan where they found a 17-year-old girl dead but no suspect vehicle.
RCMP say their investigation was long and complex.
The Crown prosecution service has approved the charge against the man.
The man is due to appear in court on Oct. 15.
