Eastbound Memorial Drive was shut down near Deerfoot Trail for several hours early Saturday morning after a woman was struck by a vehicle and killed. EMS were called to the eastbound lanes of Memorial Drive, just past the Zoo bridge, at about 3:30 a.m. for reports a pedestrian had been hit. An off-duty paramedic arrived ahead of the on-duty crew and began first aid, however the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Memorial Drive has since reopened. Police continue to investigate.
