The Regina Police Service has a reminder for its residents pointing out that warmer weather means more people walking, or riding bikes and scooters which also means increased chances of accidents.

In the last 26 hours Regina Police have been called to two collisions involving pedestrians and vehicles. The first incident occurred Thursday morning near Broadway Avenue and Abbott Street. A 7-year-old girl was taken to hospital by ambulance with non-life-threatening injuries. Police say she was hit by an eastbound vehicle as she tried to cross the street on a crosswalk.

And Thursday evening a 19-year-old woman was hit by a westbound vehicle near 9th Avenue North and McCarthy Boulevard. She was treated at hospital for minor injuries and police say she was not at a corner or crosswalk when she tried to cross the street.

Regina police remind drivers that if a vehicle in front of you or next to you is stopping, don’t try to go around them as there may be a pedestrian crossing the street and remember that all corners are considered crosswalks. For pedestrians cross at a designated cross walk or corner and make sure all vehicles are stopped before you proceed. Cyclists and scooters are reminded to wear a helmet and follow the rules of the road because if you are on the road, you are considered a vehicle.
