Officers responded to the 0-100 block of Sylvia Ave. around 5:45 p.m. Friday for a collision involving a pedestrian. Police said a pedestrian on the roadway was struck by a vehicle.
The man was treated on scene before being taken to QEII Health Sciences Centre. HRP said the man’s injuries are considered ‘serious and potentially life-threatening.’
