A pedestrian was struck on the snowy streets Tuesday morning.
Emergency crews responded to the incident on Highway 97 (32nd Street), near 32nd Ave shortly before 11 a.m.
A senior was reportedly taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
This is one of several incidents that plagued Vernon’s slick streets following a dump of snow Monday evening.
Power was knocked out to hundreds, which in turn cut off the streetlights at a major intersection, causing considerable backups. The lights at 48th Avenue and 27th Street were out, forcing a four-way stop, and causing some confusion.
