Ottawa paramedics say a pedestrian has died after being struck by a vehicle in Barrhaven on Wednesday evening.
Emergency crews were called to Greenbank Road near Cambrian Road around 6:15 p.m., paramedics said.
The Ottawa Police Service said Greenbank is closed from Cambrian Road to Egret Way, and the investigation is ongoing.
The man driving the vehicle sustained minor injuries and was taken to hospital in stable condition, according to paramedics spokesperson Marc-Antoine Deschamps.
A white Hyundai sedan with a damaged windshield remained at the scene later Wednesday night. Broken glass, a mangled personal shopping cart and other debris lay nearby.
Passersby stopped to survey the cordoned-off area, some offering a quick prayer before moving on.
