Police say a westbound vehicle driven by an 89-year-old man hit the woman. She was rushed to hospital in critical condition and died Tuesday as a result of her injuries.

The man was arrested on scene and may face charges pending the outcome of the investigation.

Police are continuing with that investigation and are looking for any witnesses to the crash.

Anyone with information that may assist investigators, and has not already spoken with police, is asked to call 204-986-7085 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).

The death is the second to have happened last Wednesday.

A woman, who was riding as a passenger on a motorcycle that hit the media on the Midtown Bridge later that night, died from injuries sustained in the crash over the weekend.

Both the driver and the passenger were wearing helmets at the time of the single-vehicle accident, according to police. Police also said they may be other contributing factors to the crash, but haven’t said if it was a combination of alcohol or speed.
