Police said a passerby witnessed the collision and tended to the woman before emergency crews arrived at the scene. The woman was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police are seeking information about the driver of the sedan, and investigators would also like to speak to the witness who attended to the woman at the scene as well as anyone who may have dashcam footage of the collision.

“We hope to be able to speak to the person who selflessly helped this woman as well as any other witnesses who can help us identify the suspect responsible,” said EPS Const. Janelle Brown in a statement.
