Certainly appeared to be what happened.
There's a zebra crossing there but most drivers seem to ignore it in their rush to get out and from where she was lay it was right next to it. So my assumption is he just sailed straight through and knocked her down but like I say, only saw the aftermath...
Saw some commotion in the Vermilion car park leaving the game today.

It's impatience that leads to cycling on the roads by all the arguments presented here -...
