“One witness stated they saw a small grey car approaching the intersection just as a pedestrian was stepping onto the sidewalk,” RCMP said it a news release.

“The driver struck the pedestrian, who went up over the hood of the car. The vehicle then immediately departed the scene prior to emergency crews arriving.”

The pedestrian was taken to hospital and later released with minor injuries. However, the pedestrian left the hospital prior to officers being able to speak with her.
