Police are still in the early stages of their investigation and are urging anyone who witnessed the accident to contact Greater Sudbury Police at 675-9171.
The woman was walking from the Farmer's Market side of Elgin toward Cedar just outside the crosswalk area when she was struck by a 2001 Chevy pickup.
The driver, a 68-year-old man, was making a left turn from Cedar to Elgin.
According to Greater Sudbury Police Staff Sgt. Todd Zimmerman, the woman suffered life-threatening injuries as a result of the collision.
Paramedics worked on her for a few minutes in the ambulance before transporting her to the hospital.
At the scene, a woman's brown shoe and a pool of blood could be seen in front of the truck, which came to a stop in the middle of the intersection.
Police had the area blocked off as they reconstructed the accident Wednesday, and remain in the preliminary stages of their investigation.
