Truck vs Pedestrian

On 05 May 2014 Emergency Services responded to an accident between a truck and a pedestrian at the intersection of 9th Street East and 3rd Avenue East.

The investigation revealed that a GMC pickup truck was travelling southbound on 3rd Avenue East and stopped at 9th Street East facing a red light. The 63 year old driver checked in all directions and when it was clear proceeded to make a right turn onto 9th Street East. A 65 year old pedestrian who had been walking eastbound on 9th Street East decided to head southbound against the red light and stepped into the intersection in front of the pickup truck.

The pedestrian was transported to the hospital where he was treated for lacerations and bruising.

The investigation is continuing.
