Greater Sudbury Police Service said it has identified the victim from a pedestrian-vehicle collision that claimed the life of a 37-year-old woman on Nov. 5 near the on-ramp to Maley Drive at Notre Dame Avenue. It happened around 6:15 a.m., said police.
At the same time, police said an arrest has been made in the case.
GSPS said a 23-year-old woman is being charged with several Criminal Code and Highway Traffic Act offences, including failure to stop for an accident resulting in death.
Police said owing to the fact that formal charges have not yet been processed through the court system, the name of the suspect is not being revealed at this time.
Police said the suspect is facing the following charges:
- Failure to Stop for an accident resulting in death;
- Operating an unsafe vehicle;
- No clear view to the front of the vehicle.
GSPS said the accused woman was released on an undertaking with a court date of Jan. 14, 2026, to answer to the charges.
Police also said that the name of the deceased woman is not being released out of respect for the wishes of the family.
"Our deepest condolences go out to her family and friends," said the police statement.
In another case involving a death on Wednesday, GSPS said no charges will be filed in the case of pedestrian-vehicle collision that occurred at around 4:40 a.m. on Attlee Avenue near Lasalle Boulevard. GSPS said it has been determined that the driver was not at fault and that vehicle speed, drugs or alcohol were not factors in the collision, said police.
Greater Sudbury Fire Services and Paramedic Services were also dispatched to the scene. The pedestrian was transported to hospital by paramedics with serious, life-threatening injuries, said the police news release.
"Unfortunately, the 39-year-old woman was pronounced deceased at the hospital by medical professionals. Our deepest condolences go out to her family and friends. Her name will not be released out of respect for her family’s wishes," said the release.
The investigation into that collision is ongoing, said police. Anyone with dash camera footage who was driving in the area at the time of the collision or anyone who witnessed the collision is asked to contact police at 705-675-9171.
