A woman in her 80s also fell to the ground but was not struck by the vehicle, according to police. She suffered minor injuries.
Police are treating the collision as an accident at the moment. Bergeron said it appears the “pedestrians were probably crossing facing a red light.”
Investigators remain at the scene.
