General Patrol officers, assisted by members of the Auxilliary Force Cadet Unit, attended and assisted with traffic control as members of the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service provided medical care to the 19-year-old female pedestrian. She was RUSHed to hospital in unstable condition and later upgraded to stable.
The adult driver of the involved vehicle remained at the scene of the collision and spoke with investigators, police confirmed.
The northbound lane of Pembina between Oakenwald and Dowker avenues was closed to traffic for about four hours with drivers asked to use alternate routes.
The Traffic Division has assumed the investigation and determined the pedestrian ran in the path of the northbound vehicle and was struck as there was no time for the driver to avoid a collision. No charges are anticipated.
Anyone with information or video surveillance, including dash camera footage that may assist investigators is asked to call 204-986-7085, Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477), or online at winnipegcrimestoppers.org.
