The driver, a 94-year-old Blenheim woman, also had to be taken to hospital.
Talbot Street between Parr and Marlborough streets remains closed at this hour as police investigate.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Const. Jason Herder at jasonh@chatham-kent.ca or 519-355-1092.
Why is a 94 year old allowed to drive ?
Because if they pass their mto test they can. Remember everyone has a grandparent out there let's not get defensive….maybe something wrong with car? But if not I am sure the 94yr old did not aim for this other person.
There's always a lot if pedestrians being hit in Blenheim, for years
It's not like she had to go to work.. but I'm sure she feels bad about the incident.. but wow… 94 and still able to get behind the wheel is an accomplishment in itself.
Dave Turnbull I'm sure it was an accident. Grateful know one was killed. I feel bad for all involved. Sending prayer's for quick recoveries ..
