A vehicle-pedestrian collision in Dauphin over the weekend has left a man in critical condition.
RCMP say it happened at about 9 p.m. on Sept. 6 on Buchanan Avenue, where a vehicle struck a 43-year-old man, then fled the scene.
The victim was taken to hospital in Dauphin, before being airlifted to Winnipeg, where he remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries.
A short time after the incident, police identified the driver as a 20-year-old woman from the R.M. of Gilbert Plains, and she was arrested and taken to the detachment, where Mounties say she provided a breath sample, which was almost three times the legal limit.
The investigation continues, but the suspect has been released from custody, with charges pending, and the vehicle was seized by police.
