Pedestrian killed in crash near downtown core

One person has died after a collision near London's downtown core.

Police say it happened around 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, on the Adelaide Street bridge, which goes over King Street.

A pedestrian was pronounced dead shortly after a collision with a transport truck.

The driver remained on the scene after the crash, police said.

There's no word yet on charges, and police say their investigation is ongoing.

Investigators are asking for anyone who was in the area of the crash between 12:15 p.m. and 12:45 p.m. that may have dash-cam or security footage to come forward to assist in the investigation.

Southbound Adelaide was closed between Dundas Street and Hamilton Road during the investigation. It has since reopened.
