A Richmond Hill woman, who was pinned under a truck while out walking her dog, is lucky to have sustained only minor injuries, York police say.

The woman in her late 20s was about to cross the road with her dog on Sunday morning when she was hit by a truck making a turn at the intersection of Weldrick Rd. W. and Springhead Gardens in Richmond Hill, said Sgt. Dave Mitchell.

“I’m honestly surprised” she was not more seriously injured, Mitchell said. “She was trapped underneath for over 20 minutes.”

Emergency crews arrive at the scene around 10:30 a.m. and pulled her out from underneath the truck.

The woman is being treated in hospital for a broken leg.

Mitchell said the woman’s dog ran away when crews arrived. It was found safe at home.

Police said the truck driver remained on scene. No charges have been laid. Police are looking for witnesses, he added.

Anyone with information, especially dash camera footage, has been asked to contact police at 1-866-876-5423.
