Police sent out a release Monday morning that they were investigating a serious collision involving a pedestrian, in the area of 107 Avenue and 130 Street.
At approximately 7:30 am today, West Division officers responded to the report of a collision, and subsequently closed 107 Avenue westbound at 127 Street for several hours as they investigated.

The 54-year-old male driver of the Jeep was not injured, according to police.
The road has since been reopened.
