  • 70 year old pedestrian struck in Downtown Vancouver

Vancouver Police are investigating a serious collision that sent a pedestrian to hospital on the weekend, and are asking anyone who saw what happened to call police.

The 70-year-old victim was crossing West Georgia Street at Cardero on July 22 at 9 a.m. when he was hit in the crosswalk by a dark blue Mini Cooper travelling east on West Georgia. The victim was taken to hospital where he remains in recovery.

“Investigators from VPD’s Collision Investigation Unit have located CCTV video that shows several pedestrians and vehicles in the area at the time of the collision,” says Constable Tania Visintin. “We are asking witnesses or anyone with dash-cam footage to get in touch with investigators as quickly as possible.”
