Ottawa paramedics say a pedestrian suffered life-threatening injuries after being struck by a vehicle in Barrhaven on Thursday night.

An Ottawa Paramedic Service spokesperson said in an email to CBC News they received a call to Strandherd and Longfields drives around 9:10 p.m., and took a woman to the hospital.

She was in critical condition, paramedics said.

Ottawa police said on X just before 9:30 p.m. on Thursday that part of Strandherd Drive was closed to traffic. They posted again at 6:55 a.m. on Friday to say that the road was open.

No charges or suspects have been announced.
