An SUV driver narrowly avoided hitting a pedestrian on the Trans Canada Highway on Christmas Day, but ended up crashing into a ditch. Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported.
The driver of an SUV wound up in a ditch on the Trans Canada Highway after reportedly swerving to avoid a pedestrian in the roadway. At about 7:45 p.m. on Christmas Day emergency crews were called to the westbound lanes of the Trans Canada Highway near Thomas Pond, roughly 2 kilometres east of the Foxtrap Access Road. Reports from the scene said the driver of an SUV had to swerve to avoid a pedestrian who was on the highway.
That action caused the vehicle to wind up in the ditch on the side of the road. The driver of the car was shaken but uninjured. The pedestrian was tended-to by paramedics at the scene. It was unclear at the time if any further treatment was necessary. Traffic was slowed in the area as crews worked. It was dark in intermittent flurries at the time of the incident
