A man is facing criminal charges in relation to a May 2017 pedestrian collision in Calgary that killed a 48-year-old woman.
Police said a 44-year-old man was driving a pickup truck heading northeast toward the access road from 26 Avenue N.E. at about 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 23, 2017.
Coming in the opposite direction was a car being driven by a 36-year-old woman.
The driver of the truck suffered a medical event, police said, and veered off the road before heading into the oncoming, southwest lane, colliding with the car.
The car was forced backward before stopping on a traffic island at the entrance to the 26 Avenue access road.
The truck mounted a curb and hit the woman who was on the footpath, killing her.
The truck kept going across the access road before crashing into a building and finally stopping.
The occupants of the truck and car sustained minor injuries.
James Ian Beagrie, now 45, was charged Wednesday with criminal negligence causing death.
