Yesterday morning around 11:45 a.m. a woman was walking eastbound on Llewellyn Street in Chatham.
As she crossed 5th Street she heard a cyclist yell, ‘No Brakes.’
The cyclist was southbound on 5th Street and struck the woman in the intersection. At the same time, a black pick-up truck with tinted windows was travelling northbound on 5th Street at a high rate of speed when upon completing a U-turn the driver struck both the cyclist and woman, knocking them down to the ground.
The male driver of the pick-up truck and female cyclist both fled the scene southbound. The woman was able to get help and attended the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance for medical attention.
She was treated and released.
