Hamilton police have charged a Flamborough man with careless driving after an 87-year-old woman was struck and killed by a car on Governor’s Road Dec 2.

Kitty MacLeod died while trying to walk across the busy road to visit her brother in St. Joseph’s Villa in Dundas.

Police said Wednesday a 44-year-old Flamborough man has been charged with careless driving. Police did not name the man, who is expected to appear in court Jan. 17.

Family members of residents in the seniors’ home have petitioned the city for a crosswalk at the spot where MacLeod was struck.
