An adult pedestrian died after being struck by a vehicle in Barrhaven on Wednesday evening, the Ottawa Paramedic Service said.
Paramedics spokesperson Marc-Antoine Deschamps said responders were called to Greenbank Road near Cambrian Road at about 6:15 p.m.
The unidentified adult was declared dead at the scene, Deschamps said, adding that further details were being withheld pending notification to the victim’s next-of-kin.
The driver of the vehicle, an adult male, was transported to hospital in stable condition with minor injuries, Deschamps said.
The crash and subsequent investigation led to the closure of Greenbank Road from Cambrian Road to Egret Way, the Ottawa Police Service said.
