A pedestrian was injured after being struck by items ejected from a truck involved in a collision at a southeast Medicine Hat intersection on Wednesday.

Medicine Hat Police Service said officers responded to a collision involving two vehicles and a pedestrian at the intersection of Dunmore Road Southeast and Carry Drive Southeast at about 5:40 p.m. on Wednesday.

Investigators determined a car attempting to turn left from Dunmore Road onto Carry Drive collided with an eastbound truck.

The truck spun within the intersection and struck a traffic light pole, preventing it from hitting a nearby pedestrian.

However, an unsecured air compressor and other items were thrown from the truck’s box and struck the pedestrian, who was transported to hospital for further assessment and treatment.

The drivers and occupants of both vehicles were not injured.

Police estimate damage to the vehicles and surrounding infrastructure at approximately $30,000.

The collision remains under investigation.
