Overview
- A 45-year-old woman was struck and killed by a southbound SUV while using a marked crosswalk at Main Street and National just after midnight on Sunday.
- Paramedics tried to resuscitate the woman at the scene but she was pronounced dead and the impact threw her about 30 metres.
- The SUV driver remained at the scene and is co-operating with police who do not believe alcohol or drugs were involved.
- Investigators are examining visibility, road and signal conditions and other factors to determine exactly what happened.
