The safety warning from police follows a similar message issued on Friday, but police said the message is being renewed after two more crashes involving pedestrians over the weekend, including an incident that left a young girl badly injured.
The most recent crash happened just after 7:30 a.m. Monday, police said. Officers were called to the area of Sandringham Road and Cumberland Road after getting a report that a woman had been struck by a vehicle. The woman was taken to hospital by paramedics with what appeared to be serious injuries, police said, and the crash remains under investigation.
On Sunday, police were called to the intersection of Pasqua Street and Parliament Avenue after getting a report of a crash involving a vehicle and a six-year-old girl.
“The victim was taken to hospital with what appeared to be serious but non-life-threatening injuries,” the Regina Police Service said in a statement.
“Initial investigation has determined the driver of the vehicle had stopped at a red light and was turning right onto Parliament Avenue when they struck the victim. The investigation is ongoing.”
Police officers also responded to a crash involving a vehicle and a motorcycle on Saturday. According to police, officers were called to the area of Dewdney Avenue and Park Street at about 1:40 p.m., where they found the motorcyclist with what appeared to be serious injuries. He was taken to hospital for treatment, police said.
Police advised drivers to ensure they can see clearly out of all windows and mirrors, to be aware of their surroundings and to remember that all corners are considered crosswalks for pedestrians.
Those on foot were advised to cross at designated crosswalks or corners and to ensure vehicles are stopped before proceeding into the street.
“Check all directions before crossing and stay alert of your surroundings as you cross the street,” the police force noted.
“If you are found at fault in a collision, you can be issued a ticket under the Traffic Safety Act.”
When it comes to bikes, e-bikes and e-scooters, the police force advised riders to always wear a helmet and follow the rules of the road.
“If you are on the road, you are considered a vehicle. Know your hand signals and use them,” police said.
“If your bike fits the criteria to be on the sidewalk, you must dismount and walk your bicycle when crossing a street.”
