The passing of another day has seen two more pedestrians struck by vehicles in the metro area, bringing the list to eight in recent days.

Emergency crews responded to New Gower Street near the Delta Hotel at around 9:30 p.m. last night.

An SUV traveling westbound struck a woman who was crossing the street. The woman was treated by paramedics for what appeared to be a leg injury, but wasn’t taken to hospital at that time. Westbound traffic was blocked at Barter’s Hill for some time as crews worked.

At about 9:30 pm crews were called to yet another MVPA in the metro area. A female pedestrian was struck while crossing New Gower Street near the Delta Hotel. She was treated on scene for an apparent leg injury, but was not taken to hospital at that time. #nltraffic @VOCMNEWS pic.twitter.com/hrIjoK0N2p — Earl Noble (@Noble41) January 15, 2020

Earlier in the day, another pedestrian was struck on the east end of Freshwater Road. The extent of their injuries is unknown.

Yesterday’s incidents add to a lengthening list of pedestrian-vehicle collisions in recent days. Eight people have reportedly been hospitalized or otherwise treated for injures since Saturday, after being struck by vehicles.
