A driver has been charged under the Motor Vehicle Act after a pedestrian was struck and seriously injured in Kelowna.
It happened Tuesday morning near the intersection of Baron Road and Underhill Street.
RCMP say a woman in her mid-70’s was using a crosswalk when she was hit by a small SUV.
She was rushed to the hospital with serious but survivable body injuries.
Police say the driver, a man in his late 50’s, remained at the scene and is cooperating with their investigation.
He has been cited for failing to yield to a pedestrian.
“The RCMP wish to remind drivers to always scan right and left for pedestrians when approaching any intersection and before continuing through,” said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey in a news release.
Any witnesses who have not talked to police are asked to call the Kelowna detachment.
