A male, age 26, sustained severe but non-life-threatening injuries.
At approximately 9 p.m., it was reported to authorities that the involved driver was residing in Craigmore.
Two males could be heard arguing, and a four-wheel-drive vehicle matching the description of the vehicle involved in the accident was parked in the driveway.

Approximately six hours prior, a person was struck by a white Toyota four-wheel drive on St. Lawrence Avenue near Andrews Farm after an alleged domestic dispute.
Inspector Featherby stated, “For the sake of this man’s and his family’s dignity, I am unable to offer any information regarding any previous incidents in which he may have been engaged.”
Police are currently investigating if the Toyota involved in the hit-and-run was stolen.

This event and the preceding hit-and-run will be subjected to an independent, thorough, and exhaustive inquiry to determine their relationship.
