“The vehicle’s side mirror struck her in the back of the head is what we believe,” Maze said.
He said the strike caused a large gash to the back of her head and the woman ended up losing consciousness; she was taken to hospital. Her injuries are non-life-threatening.
Maze said the vehicle fled the scene and since there were no witnesses around, there is no vehicle description though police believe it was a larger pickup truck, like a Ford F-350.

The victim remains in hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
