    VANCOUVER — Police say a man is dead and three people are injured after all four were struck by vehicles in separate incidents around Metro Vancouver overnight.
     
    Mounties in Langley say a 54-year-old man was hit by a truck at about 9:20 p.m. Thursday and has been pronounced dead in hospital.
     
    RCMP say the 24-year-old male driver who hit him stayed at the scene and was co-operative but extremely distraught.
     
    Officers say the victim was wearing dark clothing and walking in the middle of a rural road with no street lights.
