Waterloo regional police say a pedestrian has been taken to hospital after being hit by a vehicle at Ottawa Street and David Bergey Drive.

Waterloo regional police say a pedestrian has been taken to hospital after being hit by a vehicle at Ottawa Street and David Bergey Drive.

In a social media post at 9:18 a.m. Friday, police said officers are deploying a drone to gather evidence. The southbound lanes of Ottawa Street are closed at the intersection.

It’s the second hit and run involving a pedestrian in Waterloo Region in two days and the third in just over a week.

Police are still looking for a dark-coloured van or pickup truck that struck a 27-year-old woman in Cambridge Thursday. Police said her injuries are non-life-threatening.

Last Friday, police announced they had charged a 25-year-old driver in connection with a hit and run on Fairway Road that sent a 65-year-old woman to hospital with life-threatening injuries.

More to come.
