Pedestrian in hospital after ‘serious’ crash in Niagara Falls: police

Police say a pedestrian is in hospital following a serious collision in Niagara Falls Thursday morning.

Officers responded around 10 a.m. to the intersection of Morrison St. and Law Ave. after a vehicle struck the woman.

Paramedics transported a 73-year-old woman to an out-of-town trauma centre for “advanced medical care.” She remains in hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

Police say the two infant children that were being pushed in a stroller by their grandmother at the time were not injured and they were assessed by paramedics on scene.
