A 23-year-old woman was taken to hospital with head injuries after she was struck by a car Monday evening.

The victim stepped out from in between two parked cars to cross the street near Glencairn Ave. and Avenue Rd. around 6:30 p.m. when she was hit by a Toyota.

According to an EMS official, she was transported to hospital after response crews discovered she was bleeding from the head. Police said the woman has serious but non-life threatening injuries.

“It was quite a knock though – she cracked the windshield,” said Const. Hugh Smith. “No other injuries, no broken bones, but she has a major concussion.”

The driver remained on hand and cooperated with police.

The area around the scene of the collision was closed for several hours as a reconstruction team worked but reopened around 11 p.m. Monday.
