Police said in a news release Friday that a woman has been charged in connection with a fatal pedestrian collision this fall, but later said “some content in the release is inaccurate.”
A 75-year-old man was transported to hospital in unstable condition after he was hit by a 2022 Kia Seltos in the area of Corydon Avenue and Lilac Street at about 9:43 a.m. on Oct. 3.
The driver remained at the scene, and the man died from his injuries on Oct. 11, police said previously.
Details of the investigation were forwarded to Crown prosecutors for review.
A 44-year-old woman was charged with driving carelessly causing death and released on an appearance notice Thursday, the Winnipeg Police Service initially said in a news release Friday morning. The WPS said that afternoon that some content in the release was wrong and that another would be sent “at a later time.”
