Pedestrian dies in Abbotsford crash

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 13 Sep, 2023 12:01 PM

Police in Abbotsford say a 35-year-old pedestrian died late last night after being hit by a vehicle.

Alcohol is not believed to be a factor and investigators say the driver stayed at the scene and was co-operative with officers.

The death came just hours after an unrelated head-on crash involving two vehicles in the southwest corner of Abbotsford, leaving both drivers -- a 49-year-old man and 29-year-old woman -- with potentially life-threatening injuries.

Police are seeking dashcam video or witnesses who might have information about either the pedestrian death or the head-on crash.
