The Canadian Press, 29 Aug, 2018 12:25 PM
    CENTRAL SAANICH, B.C. — A woman is dead and another is in critical condition after they were struck by an SUV in Central Saanich, B.C., on Monday night
     
     
    Police say the two women, both in their 40s, were hit at about 7 p.m. while they were walking a dog, which was also killed.
     
     
    The driver of the SUV, a man from Central Saanich, was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
     
     
    Police say the vehicle was headed south on the road and the women were walking north on the opposite side of the road.
     
     
    The section of Central Saanich Road where the incident occurred does not have sidewalks.
     
     
    Sgt. Paul Brailey of Central Saanich Police said it was too early to determine if speed, alcohol or drugs were factors.
     
     
    "That's obviously something that we'll look into," he told CTV News.
     
     
    "We do have officers at the hospital, both with the driver and the person in critical condition."
