A collision between a pedestrian and a crane fitted with forklift tines has left a local woman in hospital in stable condition.

The 66-year-old woman was crossing Second Avenue at Jarvis Street, headed toward the Yukon River, when she was struck in the crosswalk by an Ingersoll Rand crane turning right onto Second from Jarvis.

She was struck at about 2 p.m. Friday. The street was congested for about half an hour with fire trucks, ambulances and police cruisers while emergency personnel worked to treat the woman and investigate the crash.

No charges have been laid at this point against the 42-year-old local man driving the crane, Whitehorse RCMP Cpl. John Bennett told reporters this morning. The investigation continues.

It's not known if the machine was carrying anything in the forklift tines at the time.

Ambulance attendants took the woman to Whitehorse General Hospital with a head injury.

Meanwhile, a 49-year-old local man was given stitches and released from hospital with cuts to his head and lip after being struck with a broom early this morning.

Police were called to handle the spousal assault at an Arkell home shortly after 2 a.m. The wife was charged with assault with a weapon.

Alcohol may have been a factor, Bennett said.

As well, a brand new Chevrolet Suburban being used as a hotel shuttle was found with minor damage Saturday morning.

The truck was spotted abandoned and stuck in some soft snow on the Chadburn Lake Road at 6:45 a.m. Saturday. The last time the owners saw it, it was 11 p.m. Friday.

A spare set of keys had been left in the vehicle. The truck has been examined by the RCMP's forensic identification section for evidence.

A sharpening shop is short some change, but will also have to replace a broken window after a break-in last Thursday night. The investigation into the break and enter at Sharpening Service on Sixth Avenue continues.

A pair of teenage boys were turned over to their guardians after being spotted prowling around the Carcross Cutoff gas station at 11:30 p.m. Saturday.

A passerby had spotted the boys, aged 13 and 14, and reported it to police.

When officers arrived, the youngsters were still there. The store had not been entered.
