A pedestrian has been airlifted to a Toronto hospital with serious, but non life-threatening injuries after a collision in Owen Sound.
A release from police says the east bound lanes of 10th Street East between 4th Avenue and 5th Avenue East were closed the majority of the afternoon while police investigated the collision.
According to police, just before 11a.m., a female was crossing northbound in the pedestrian crosswalk at the intersection of 10th Street and 4th Avenue East. A vehicle making a left, eastbound, turn from 4th Avenue East onto 10th Street East struck the female knocking her onto the hood of the vehicle and then onto the road.
Police say the female pedestrian was initially transported to the hospital in Owen Sound and then later airlifted to St. Michael’s hospital in Toronto for further assessment of her injuries.
They note, the driver of the vehicle remained on scene and co operated with the police investigation.
As a result of the investigation, the driver of the vehicle has been charged with careless driving. All lanes of traffic were re-opened at 4 p.m.
