On April 20, 2010, at about 11pm, Cross Lake RCMP, as well as local EMS were dispatched to the scene of a fatal collision involving a pedestrian.
Investigation revealed that a 42-year-old female from Cross lake had been walking on PTH 374 when she was struck by a 2001 GMC Sierra pick-up truck. The truck was traveling westbound, driven by a 50-year-old male from the area.
Efforts to resuscitate the injured woman were unsuccessful and she succumbed to her injuries.
Initial reports indicate that visibility on the roadway was limited due to darkness and blowing dust.
An RCMP Traffic Analyst attended the scene to assist with the investigation. Alcohol and speed are not considered factors at this time and no charges are anticipated.
There were no other injuries or damages reported.
Police continue to investigate.
