A woman was critically injured after being struck by a vehicle that mounted the sidewalk in Ottawa’s ByWard Market on Thursday evening. Emergency crews responded around 7:15 p.m., and the woman was transported to hospital in critical condition.
The incident occurred near the west end of George Street, where an SUV veered off the road and hit the pedestrian. While her injuries were serious, police later confirmed they were not life-threatening.
George Street reopened around 10 p.m. Authorities say there is no sign of criminal activity, though the investigation is ongoing.
