Pedestrian in wheelchair struck by Lexus in North Vancouver, RCMP investigating
Authorities are investigating a single-vehicle crash in North Vancouver, B.C., that left a pedestrian seriously injured Wednesday afternoon.
North Vancouver RCMP confirmed a black Lexus struck someone in a wheelchair near the London Drugs at Lonsdale Avenue and 20th Street.
Cpl. Mansoor Sahak said the victim's injuries were described to him as 'serious but not life-threatening.'
The driver of the Lexus sustained minor injuries as well, authorities said.
Sahak said it was too early to speculate on a possible cause of the crash, or whether the RCMP's Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service would be deployed.
'The investigation's unfolding,' Sahak told CTV News from the scene. 'We're still taking statements.'
Both the driver and pedestrian have been taken to hospital, authorities said.

Vehicle thefts have risen in Windsor, according to the Windsor police. CTV Windsor's Stefanie Masotti has tips on staying vigilant. With rising vehicle thefts in Windsor, police are sounding the alarm. 'It's happening all across Windsor. Not in one area in particular,' said Const. Andie Suthers. From July 22 to July 28, police responded to 11 vehicle thefts, which is a 57 per cent increase compared to the same week last year. Police are asking the public to be vigilant, since six of the vehicles were left unlocked with the keys still inside. 'This remains one of the most common ways that vehicles are being stolen,' said Suthers. Nine of the 11 thefts have been recovered so far, but police urge people to leave their cars locked, never leave the vehicle running or leave the keys in the vehicle. - With files from CTV's Stefanie Masotti
