A Calgary woman who was hit by a vehicle in the city’s southwest last week has died as a result of her injuries, police say.

Investigators say a 2014 Hyundai Elantra, driven by a 30-year-old woman, was driving south on Macleod Trail SE near the intersection of 99 Avenue SW.

At the same time, a woman in her 30s was crossing Macleod Trail westbound south of the 99 Avenue SW intersection, outside the marked crosswalk.
