London, Ont., police are investigating following a fatal collision that took place Wednesday morning in the south end of the city.
At 8:50 a.m., emergency crews were called to a parking lot in the area of Wonderland Road South for a collision involving a female pedestrian.
According to police, the woman had life-threatening injuries. She was taken to hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
A/Sgt. Sandasha Bough told Global News that the identity of the woman is not being released at this time.
“At this time, pending information from next-of-kin, we won’t be releasing the identity of the deceased,” she said.
Police say the driver involved in the crash remained at the scene.
“Anything in relation to possible charges will come through the course of the investigation, and due to the fact that it is a fatal collision, that could take some time before we have that information available,” Bough added.
The collision marked the second fatal crash in the city within a week as an 83-year-old pedestrian was killed following a serious collision in north London on Sunday.
Investigations into both collisions are ongoing.
