Ottawa police are seeking witnesses to a fatal early morning collision between a vehicle and a pedestrian in Metcalfe.

Officers were called to 8th Line Road near Walker Road in the city's rural south end at 2:37 a.m. Sunday, according to an afternoon news release.

Police did not share other details about the collision.

Ottawa's paramedic service told CBC it was actually paramedics from the United Counties of Prescott and Russell who were called to the scene.

That paramedic service said Sunday they couldn't provide details about the crash, either.

Police say they're looking for witnesses who might have seen a pedestrian around Vans Rens Street and Walker Road or may have dashcam footage of the crash.

A section of 8th Line Road was closed for part of Sunday but has since reopened. Metcalfe is about 30 kilometres southeast of the city's downtown.
