A 40-year-old man was seriously hurt Wednesday evening after being hit by a vehicle in Calgary’s southeast.

Police say shortly before 5:30 p.m., a black 2007 Cadillac Escalade, driven by a man in his 40s, was travelling southbound on 2 Street SE approaching Southland Drive SE, when it hit a pedestrian.

The man was crossing 2 Street SE eastbound in an unmarked crosswalk. He was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

The driver wasn’t hurt and stayed at the scene.

Speed and impairment aren’t thought to be factors in the incident.

An investigation into the matter is ongoing.

Southland Drive was closed in both directions between Bonaventure on Wilde Road SE for several hours but has since reopened to traffic.
