A local driver has been charged in relation to a collision involving a pedestrian last fall.
On September 15, at around 3:00 am, an officer with the Prince George RCMP came upon a pedestrian who had been involved in a collision at the intersection of Victoria Street and 5th Avenue.
The pedestrian, a local 66-year-old man, was transported to hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries. The driver remained on scene.
Investigators believe it that the vehicle was heading northbound and collided with the pedestrian at the uncontrolled and unmarked intersection.
The BC Prosecution Service has approved a Motor Vehicle Act charge of failing to yield to a pedestrian against a local 53-year-old man, he has been summoned to appear in court on May 22nd.
The RCMP wish to remind the public that drivers must yield to pedestrians crossing at all intersections, whether there is a marked crosswalk or not.
