A 54-year-old man from Surrey has been charged in a hit-and-run that left two pedestrians with injuries just over a year ago.

Barry Russell Christiansen has been charged with two counts of failing to stop at an accident scene involving bodily harm.

On Dec.3, 2012, two female joggers were in the crosswalk at 152nd Street and 32nd Avenue when a white coloured crossover style vehicle struck them.

The driver did not stop to offer assistance and fled.

A 51-year-old woman was airlifted to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries, including a head laceration.

Another 54-year-old woman was taken to hospital with less serious injuries.

Both pedestrians had been wearing headlamps and reflective clothing at the time.

RCMP have released surveillance video of the accident within days, asking the public to help identify the driver.

Christiansen will make his first court appearance on January 21.
