On Tuesday January 4, 2022 at approximately 7:15 PM the Halton Regional Police Service responded to a 66 year old pedestrian who was struck by a motor vehicle on Lakeshore Road near Goodram Road
Paramedics transported the pedestrian to Joseph Brant Hospital for emergency treatment.
Unfortunately the pedestrian succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased by medical staff. The driver remained on scene and is cooperating with the police investigation.
The Collision Reconstruction Unit has taken carriage of the investigation. Any witnesses who have not yet spoken to police are asked to call 905-825-4747 ext: 5065.
It seems like every day now the news reports yet another pedestrian hit by a motor vehicle while walking. What is going on? Are there more pedestrian accidents statistically over the past year?
