A 42-year-old woman is in hospital after being hit by a vehicle in Woodstock.

The woman was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Charges have not been laid in relation to the collision. However, Woodstock police are reminding pedestrians and drivers to always be aware of their surroundings.

"Wear reflective clothing and use sidewalks when they are available.
