Calgary man succumbs to injuries in fatal traffic collision

A senior pedestrian who was struck while in a crosswalk last week has succumbed to his injuries, as investigators continue to seek out witnesses.

The collision occurred on Friday, July 17, 2020, at approximately 3:10 p.m., at the intersection of Crowfoot Crescent and Crowfoot Gate N.W.

At the time, an 87-year-old man was walking across Crowfoot Crescent within the marked crosswalk, north to south. At the same time, a 2008 Toyota Camry, being driven by a 78-year-old woman, was traveling west on Crowfoot Crescent. The woman failed to see the pedestrian in the crosswalk and struck him.

As a result of the collision, the pedestrian sustained critical head injuries. At approximately 5 a.m. today, Monday, July 20, 2020, the pedestrian passed away as a result of his injuries.

The driver did not receive any injuries.
