The 56-year-old man hit by a semi-truck at the intersection of Kenaston Boulevard and McGillivray Boulevard Monday morning has died.
Emergency crews were called to the scene at 7:50 a.m. The man was taken to hospital in critical condition.
Police are still at the scene investigating.
Southbound Kenaston was closed at Lindenwood Drive. McGillivray Boulevard was also closed in the immediate area of the crash.
Police said many witnesses saw the collision happen and they suggest those individuals seek assistance from a health care professional.
Police are asking anyone with information to call investigators at 204-986-7085 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
Another pedestrian struck around the same time
Winnipeg police said another pedestrian was struck by a vehicle around 8:20 a.m. Monday.
The collision happened at the intersection of Morley Avenue and Osborne Street.
Police said the victim was taken to hospital and their condition is unknown at this time.
The two incidents are not linked, according to police.
“I have the feeling that it’s just absolute coincidence that they would have occurred at almost the same time,” Const. Rob Carver said.
