A woman in her 80s has died of her injuries after being struck by a smaller-style SUV along Macleod Trail south.

Emergency crews were called to the area near the Stampede Park CTrain station around 10:30 a.m. Friday.

Police shut down northbound Macleod at 17 Ave. S.E. and rerouted traffic onto westbound 25th Ave.

EMS rushed the woman to Foothills Hospital in serious, potentially life-threatening condition but shortly before 2 p.m. she was pronounced dead.

The driver of the SUV is not hurt.

Paramedics say two bystanders on scene gave excellent first aid while EMS was en route.

Calgary police are investigating the factors leading to the collision.
