A woman walking in Wallenstein was seriously injured in a crash on Thursday evening.

Waterloo regional police say the 48-year-old woman was walking in the Herrgott Road and Line 86 intersection of Wellesley Township around 6:45 p.m. when she was hit by a vehicle.

The vehicle in question was heading northbound on Herrgott Road.

She was seriously injured and sent to an out-of-region hospital.

Police said the driver was a 17-year-old boy who was not hurt.

Investigators make no mention of charges at this point, though they did have the intersection partially closed for several hours Thursday.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
