A man, an infant and a dog were injured after a crash in Sherwood Park on Tuesday.

Police say a 66-year-old man driving a vehicle north on 153 Georgian Way hit two people and a dog who were walking on a sidewalk.

The vehicle crossed a lane of traffic into oncoming traffic before jumping the curb and hitting the man, child and dog, RCMP said. The vehicle ended up on someone's lawn.

A 36-year-old man and an 11-month-old baby were taken to hospital with serious injuries.

The dog was taken to a vet with minor injuries.

The 66-year-old man driving the vehicle was not injured.

Police say speed and alcohol are not believed to be factors in the crash.
