Fatal collision at Colonnade
Joan Arnold, a 60 year-old woman from Richmond, was killed when she was struck by a pick-up truck outside the LCBO at Colonnade on Monday morning. Although the accident was initially reported as a hit and run, the driver of the pick-up, a 70 year-old man from the area of Edwardsburgh/
Cardinal, remained at the scene until he was taken away for medical treatment. His vehicle, a 1999 green Ford pickup truck was left on site for some time afterwards while the OPP investigators examined the scene. Joan was apparently crossing from the parking lot to the LCBO when she was struck. She
was carrying a black umbrella as a shade against the hot sun, and the open umbrella and her bag were lying on the ground beside her for some time after the accident. Her body was covered by police while they marked out tire tracks and other evidence of where the truck had travelled. The LCBO remained closed
off by barricades for the rest of the business day. The fatality is the first in the history of Colonnade, although the area has been pointed out as a dangerous place for pedestrians, given the almost complete lack of sidewalks, and the necessity of walking through parking lots to get from store to store.
However, in this case, the victim was struck directly outside the LCBO, possibly coming from her vehicle. OPP continue to investigate the accident. The name of the driver had not been released, nor was there any update on his condition or location at time of going to press.
