Greater Sudbury Police have released more details related to a fatal pedestrian collision in downtown Sudbury Sunday evening.

Police say that around 5:50 p.m. Jan. 15, officers responded to a serious collision involving a pedestrian and a black Honda Civic in the eastbound lanes of Brady Street between the intersection of Brady Street at Minto Street and Golden Grain Bakery. 

The driver remained on scene following the collision. No arrest has been made or charges laid, as the investigation remains ongoing, GSPS said.

An off-duty police officer was the first person on scene and immediately began life-saving measures until City of Greater Sudbury Paramedic Services arrived. 

Paramedics transported the 59-year-old woman to hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries. Unfortunately, she succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced deceased by medical professionals, police said.

GSPS gave their condolences to the woman’s family and friends, and said her name will not be released out of respect for the family’s wishes.

Members of Greater Sudbury Police’s Traffic Management Unit are investigating the incident. 

Anyone with information related to the collision or who was driving in the area and may have dash camera footage is asked to contact Greater Sudbury Police at 705-675-9171.
