A pedestrian suffered serious injuries after a bizarre accident on Kingsway Avenue Saturday morning.
Coquitlam RCMP said a 52-year-old woman was driving on Kingsway, approaching Westview Street, when she had a seizure and accelerated on to the wrong side of the road. Her vehicle travelled on to the sidewalk, where it hit a 44-year-old man, then hit two lamp posts before coming to a stop.
The man was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital in critical condition but by Monday afternoon, he was reported to be in stable condition.
The driver was also taken to RCH in stable condition and was released the next day. Her passenger was released from hospital on Saturday.
Police are still investigating the crash and say it's too early to know whether charges will be laid against the driver. They're asking any witnesses to contact them at 604-945-1550 and quote file 2012-1756.
