A 79-year-old woman was taken to South Shore Regional Hospital on Monday morning after she was hit in the crosswalk at Main and Market streets in Liverpool.<\/span><\/p>\n

The collision occurred at 11:21 a.m., an RCMP spokesman said. The woman’s injuries are not life-threatening.<\/span><\/p>\n

Police have charged a driver with failing to yield to a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk.<\/p>\n

The three-way stop at the corner of Main and Market streets has seen collisions and close calls before.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leanne Arnott, owner of Five Girls Baking, said she has witnessed some of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, I myself have had a very close call,\u201d she said Monday. \u201cThat was a couple of years ago and I was three-quarters of the way through the intersection when somebody decided not to stop and I actually had to put my hands on the hood of their car and jump back before they ran me over.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She did not see Monday\u2019s incident, but noticed emergency personnel tending to the woman, who was lying on the street.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arnott said the intersection is unsafe and the municipality should install pedestrian-controlled lights to help alert drivers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a business owner, watching this intersection daily, it is not safe. And I think if you were to ask anybody who lives around here, walks around here or even drives through the intersection on a regular basis, you\u2019ll be told that this intersection is absolutely not safe.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

She said she\u2019s worried more people will get hurt if something isn\u2019t done soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the municipality was not available to comment Monday.<\/p>\n
