A woman was killed early Saturday morning in a crash on Memorial Drive.
The collision happened at around 3:20a.m. near the zoo train station.
A pedestrian was struck by a vehicle that was travelling east on Memorial Drive, west of Deerfoot Trail.
The area was shut down as police continued their investigation.
Eastbound traffic on Memorial Drive was re-routed to St. George’s Drive for nearly four hours.
“It’s believed the pedestrian, a woman in her 20s, was sitting on the road, in a driving lane, at the time of the collision,” police said in a news release Tuesday.
EMS said an off-duty paramedic first found the critically injured woman and attempted first aid, but she later died at the scene.
Police said the driver stayed at the scene and that neither speed nor alcohol are considered factors in this collision.
Calgary police say no charges have been laid and they continue to investigate. Police ask anyone information on the collision to contact the Calgary Police Service Traffic Section at 403-567-4000 or Crime Stoppers.
