An 18-year-old woman has been identified as the victim of a collision between a car and pedestrian in Burnaby Monday evening.
The woman, whose name was not released, was struck at around 6 p.m. while crossing the street near Duthie Avenue and Burnaby Mountain Parkway and died later in hospital. The driver remained at the scene and was co-operating with investigators. Police are looking at the possibility the woman wasn’t in a crosswalk. As of Tuesday morning, the incident was still under investigation.
The collision also has RCMP reminding people to use crosswalks and be visible to drivers.
“Don’t assume they see you, wear a reflector,” said RCMP Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis.
Police are hoping to speak to witnesses and are asking anyone who might have information to contact Const. Ekelund of the Burnaby RCMP Traffic Services at 604-294-7922.
