Woman in life-threatening condition after being struck on Ouellette Avenue in Windsor

A pedestrian has life-threatening injuries after being struck by a vehicle early Sunday on Ouellette Avenue, Windsor police say.

Emergency crews were called to the 1100 block of Ouellette Avenue at about 2:30 a.m. on for a reported collision.

Police said a preliminary investigation indicated a 40-year-old woman was crossing the street mid-block when she was hit by an oncoming vehicle.

Investigators say the driver got out of the vehicle following the crash and was then assaulted by a man who had been with the pedestrian.

The woman was taken to hospital, where she remains in critical condition. The driver was also taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Ouellette Avenue was closed for several hours in both directions between Giles Boulevard and Pine Street, but has since reopened.
