Multiple Castanet readers have reported that a pedestrian may have been struck on Bernard Avenue not far from Richmond Street shortly before 7 p.m. Saturday.

One witness, Heather, was driving onto Bernard Ave. when she saw an older white male lying on the street and not moving. 

"You could tell that he'd been hit by a vehicle. He was lying sort of next to the sidewalk ... there was no movement whatsoever," she said. "There were a number of people there that were hysterical."

Ambulances were on scene. Castanet has reached out to RCMP for more information.
