TEESDALE, VIC. — Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives charged an 84-year-old woman following a fatal collision that claimed the life of a six-year-old boy in Teesdale on March 27.
Police will allege the boy was hit by a vehicle as he was walking to school on Bannockburn-Shelford Road just after 8am and died at the scene.
The vehicle involved allegedly left the scene and was later located at an address in Teesdale.
An 84-year-old Teesdale woman has been charged with failing to stop, failing to render assistance and failing to report a collision.
She has been bailed to appear at Geelong Magistrates’ Court on Friday, November 28.
