Bruh, This Ain't It: Calgary Senior Got Majorly Wrecked by a Car 💀

The Deets

Okay, fam, listen up. A 69-year-old woman in Calgary just had the worst Sunday ever. She was straight up vibing in a crosswalk on Memorial Drive near Eighth Street N.W. around 3:40 p.m. when a 2015 Toyota Highlander came outta nowhere and SMACK! She got hit.

Now, here's the messed up part: she was walking in a crosswalk on 7th street when she entered a lane that traffic had diverted to due to construction. The impact left her with some serious, life-altering injuries, and she had to be rushed to the hospital. Sending good vibes her way for a speedy recovery, fr fr.

The driver, a woman in her 30s, stayed on the scene, and thankfully, she's all good. Police are saying she wasn't speeding or under the influence, which is a slight W, but still doesn't make the situation any less tragic.

The cops are out here playing detective, tryna figure out exactly what went down. They're looking at the construction and how it might have played a role in the accident. Supposedly, the senior had the walk signal, which makes this whole thing even more sus.

Also, word on the street is that 11 pedestrians have already been yeeted off the planet this year, and over 300 pedestrian collisions have occurred, which is super yikes! Last week, three pedestrians died in a 24-hour period, which is a big RIP. October is pedestrian safety month, so be sure to share all the info to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.

If you saw anything, hit up the Calgary police. Stay safe out there, y'all. Seriously, watch out for each other, and maybe put your phone down when you're driving. For real tho.
