Owen Sound Police closed the eastbound lanes of 10th Street East between 4th Avenue and 5th Avenue East for the majority of Tuesday afternoon due to an investigation in relation to a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle.
A woman was hit while crossing northbound in the pedestrian crosswalk at the intersection of 10th Street and 4th Avenue East just prior to 11:00 am.
Police said 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 roadway.
The female pedestrian was initially transported to Grey Bruce Regional Health Centre for medical treatment and then later airlifted to St. Michaels hospital in Toronto for further assessment of her
injuries.
The pedestrian is believed to have sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries. 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 4:00 pm.
