It appears that a white SUV was involved in the crash and ended up crashing into the Convention Centre.

Originally police believed the crash involved a cyclist but later stated it was a pedestrian.

All four westbound lanes of St. Mary Avenue were closed for more than an hour.  The intersection has since re-opened.
