Police say the 22-year-old woman was walking with three others when she was struck by the can that they believe came from a moving pickup truck.

The woman's injuries have not been released, but police say she suffered a medical emergency and was "revived through life-saving first aid on scene."

Police say the victim was taken to hospital and is in stable condition.

Investigators are asking for anyone with information or dashcam footage of the incident to contact police.
