At approximately 5:35 p.m. Comox Valley RCMP received a 911 call to report that a pedestrian had been hit at the intersection of 17th Street and Fitzgerald Avenue in Courtenay. The vehicle, a white Hyundai Elantra, was making a left turn from 17th Street onto Fitzgerald Avenue when the pedestrian stepped out and the collision occurred.
