Red Deer RCMP are seeking additional witnesses to a fatal collision involving a pedestrian Tuesday.

On Sept. 14, at 12:00 p.m., Red Deer RCMP responded to a motor vehicle collision involving a pedestrian located at 48 Street and 52 Avenue. Upon police arrival, Red Deer Emergency Services were on scene providing medical assistance to the pedestrian.

Mounties say their preliminary investigation has revealed that a truck was heading southbound on 52 Avenue. However, as the truck turned eastbound onto 48 Street, a pedestrian was struck in the crosswalk.

Medical treatment was provided to the pedestrian; however, a 68-year-old woman from Red Deer was declared deceased at the scene. Police say the identity of the deceased will not be released.

Red Deer RCMP arrested an 83-year old male driver of the truck for failing to provide a breath sample and is currently in custody.
