One person has been taken to hospital after being struck by a car in the City’s downtown last evening.

Emergency personnel were called to a crosswalk on Queen’s Road, near Balsam Street, at about 7:15 p.m..

A male pedestrian was allegedly struck by an eastbound sedan, and was tended to by firefighters after suffering an apparent leg injury. Paramedics arrived a short time later and took the man to hospital with what appeared to be non life-threatening injuries.

The stretch of road on which this collision occurred has become somewhat notoriously dangerous to pedestrians attempting to cross. There are several pedestrians struck here annually.
