CALGARY – Police are investigating alcohol as a factor in a crash that injured a pedestrian in southwest Calgary Monday evening.

Around 8 p.m., a 24-year-old woman was driving a car in the parking lot of the Fish Creek Pointe apartment complex when the car hit a man.

The man, 41, was knocked to the ground and run over. The car continued through the parking lot before hitting a small electrical outlet and coming to a stop.

The man suffered serious, but non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to the hospital for treatment.

While police are investigating alcohol as a factor, they don’t believe speed played a part in the crash.

Investigators would like to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the crash.

If you were in the area and saw the crash, you can reach out to CPS or submit an anonymous tip via Crime Stoppers.
