A woman has life-altering injuries after being struck by a vehicle in southeast Calgary on Tuesday.
Emergency crews were called to the area of Fairmount Drive and Flint Road SE around 2:45 p.m. for reports of a crash.
Calgary police say a woman in her 20s was walking with her dog in a crosswalk when she was struck by a 2015 Toyota RAV 4 that was travelling northbound on Fairmount Drive.
She was rushed to hospital with serious life-altering injuries. Her dog was hurt but was able to run home, according to police.
The driver involved in the crash remained at the scene.
The investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing. Investigators do not believe speed or impairment were factors.
Fairmount Drive was closed between Flint Road SE and Farrell Road SE but the road has since reopened.
