Ottawa paramedics say one person was taken to hospital after being struck by a vehicle near the Nepean Sportsplex on Wednesday. An Ottawa Paramedic Service spokesperson says first responders were called to Woodroffe Avenue near Hunt Club Road at 12:56 p.m. A “pediatric patient” was taken to hospital in serious condition, paramedics say. The victim’s gender and exact age was not provided. Police say the pedestrian’s injuries are non-life-threatening. It comes less than a day after an elderly woman was killed after being struck by a vehicle on Viewmount Drive on Tuesday evening. Ottawa police say southbound Woodroffe Avenue was closed between Hunt Club Road and Slack Road as an on-scene investigation took place, but the road has since reopened. An investigation is ongoing, police say.
