A pedestrian is in hospital with life-threatening injuries after a violent two car crash near the Western University gates on Richmond Street north early Thursday morning.
London police say it happened on Richmond near Epworth Avenue about 2:30 a.m., a time of night when traffic is typically minimal.
“With increased presence with the students, and you know university and college back in play, there is certainly more vehicular traffic throughout the city. There’s a number of times a day where there could be more or less traffic,” explained London Police Const. Matt Dawson.
A 20-year-old male pedestrian is fighting for his life in hospital, while a 29-year-old male driver of one of the vehicles was taken to hospital with serious but non life-threatening injuries.
