Around 1:20 p.m., police were called to the area of 36 Street and Whitehorn Drive N.E. for a collision, according to a Thursday news release.
Police said a Nissan Altima, operated by a man in his 20s, was stopped against the curb on Whitehorn Drive N.E. letting a passenger out.
The Nissan then pulled away from the curb as a Calgary Transit bus turned onto Whitehorn Drive. The bus and the car collided, which caused the car to mount the curb and hit a bench at a nearby bus stop.
The car continued on the sidewalk and hit a 68-year-old woman and a two-year-old girl in a stroller.
The car came to a stop on the front lawn of a nearby home, with the stroller and child underneath.
Passengers from the bus and other pedestrians then lifted the car up to get it off the stroller and remove the child, police said.
