Tino Casavecchia posted this photo on Facebook of his nephew Tristan Roby who was identified by police as the victim of a hit and run on Sunday, July 21. 2019.

The jury has been selected in a hit and run case which left a London, Ont. teenager with significant life altering head trauma injuries that he continues to deal with.

Tristan Roby was only 17 years old when he was struck by a car along Exeter Road in July of 2019 while on his bike.

Months later, police arrested and charged Jesse Bleck with failing to remain at the scene of a crash that caused bodily harm and operating a motor vehicle while prohibited.

The trial is expected to get underway on Tuesday and is slated to last three weeks.
