Calgary police have charged a 29-year-old woman in connection to the death of a pedestrian in a crosswalk in April. Police were called to the collision in the intersection of 90 Avenue and 19 Street S.W. on Sunday, April 28, 2013, at about 9:55 p.m. Investigators say that a woman was crossing 90 Avenue in the controlled crosswalk when she was hit by a Hyundai Accent in the left, eastbound lane. Wendy Turnbull, 65, of Calgary suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Police detained the driver of the Hyundai at the scene but later released her without charges. An investigation was launched into the cause of the collision and charges were the brought against the driver. Michelle Corry, of Calgary, is charged with one count each of driving without due care and attention, failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk and speeding. At court hearing in October 2014, Corry’s charges of careless driving and speeding were withdrawn. She did, however, plead guilty to failing to yield to a pedestrian and was ordered to pay a $2,300 fine.
