An elderly Burnaby man died after he was hit by a motorized scooter last week, and now Mounties are looking for witnesses to help piece together what caused the fatal crash.
The accident happened at the corner of Edmonds Street and Mary Avenue around 1 p.m. on Sept. 11. Investigators believe a woman driving a blue scooter chair on the sidewalk collided with a man using a walker.
The victim, 91, was taken to hospital with serious injuries. He died the following day, according to a media release from the RCMP.
Burnaby RCMP are now asking anyone who may have witnessed the crash or what happened leading up to it to contact Const. Kwan with the RCMP’s traffic section at 604-294-7922 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
