On November 27, at approximately 6:55 pm Halton Regional police received multiple 9-1-1 calls regarding a serious motor vehicle collision at the intersection of Thompson Road and McCuaig Drive in the Town of Milton.  A 27-year-old Milton woman was driving a white sedan southbound on Thompson Road when she struck two pedestrians attempting to cross Thompson Road within the crosswalk.
