According to Saskatoon police, the crash happened shortly after 8 a.m. on May 5 at the intersection of Idylwyd and 58th Street West. Officers responded after receiving a report from Corman Park Police that a Dodge Durango SUV had been driving erratically and was heading into the city on Highway 11.
The collision left an 82-year-old man in critical condition.
The teen is charged with possession of stolen property over $5,000, while the teenager is also facing charges of dangerous driving causing bodily harm, failing to stop after an accident and evading police.
A 24-year-old man, identified as Kiefer Ballantyne, was also charged with breaching court-imposed conditions. His next court appearance is scheduled for May 19 in Prince Albert.
Police said a third person was arrested, but not charged, in connection to the incident.
The Saskatchewan Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT), an independent agency that investigates incidents involving serious injury or death connected to police actions or occurring while someone is in police custody, is now investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash.
