‘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 the driver of a vehicle who is believed to have run a red light.

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

Investigators say it appears one vehicle crashed into another, sending it onto the sidewalk.

A 45-year-old woman died at the scene while the male pedestrian suffered minor injuries and was transported to hospital.

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

“They did everything they could,” added Shutt.
