‘Tragic incident:’ 1 pedestrian dies after two vehicles collide in the Junction

A female pedestrian has died and a man was injured after being struck by a vehicle involved in a collision in the Junction.

Police were called to Annette Street and Pacific Avenue just after 8 p.m.

It was reported that two cars were involved in a collision that then caused one of the vehicles to jump the curb and hit two pedestrians who were walking on the sidewalk.

The woman died at the scene while the male pedestrian suffered minor injuries and was transported to hospital. Their ages are unknown.

The pedestrians were reportedly just out on a walk when the incident occurred. Duty Insp. Scott Shutt called the incident “tragic” as being hit by the vehicle involved was “unavoidable.”

“Speed looks like it was a factor,” said Shutt, who added the investigation is still ongoing when asked whether charges would be laid.

The drivers remained on scene are cooperating with police. Several witnesses also jumped in and attempted life-saving measures on the woman.

“They did everything they could,” added Shutt.

Road closures remain in effect in the area.
