Staff Sgt. Darryl Fox with the Edmonton Police Service said an elderly woman was walking in a marked crosswalk when she was struck by a vehicle. She suffered significant but non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to hospital, Fox said early Saturday afternoon.

Fox said alcohol and speed were not factors in the collision, and the driver was co-operative with police.

Several police vehicles and officers remained in the area at around noon Saturday, and a portion of Terwillegar Drive was blocked off with police tape.

The investigation has since been turned over to the EPS Major Collisions Unit.
