The driver of a 1930s vehicle has been charged after two pedestrians were struck and injured, and a dog was killed, in a crash at an Edmonton-area car show.

RCMP in St. Albert were called to a collision last week at the Rock'n August Car Show.

An initial investigation found an orange 1934 Ford B40 was involved.

The driver has been charged with careless driving.

The injured pedestrians were taken to hospital and have since been released.

Mounties say the investigation is continuing and are asking anyone with video footage of the car before the collision, or the crash itself, to contact them.
