Road closures in effect in Surrey

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 16 Nov, 2023 12:03 PM
  • Road closures in effect in Surrey

Police in Surrey are investigating two separate collisions involving pedestrians -- including a fatal hit and run.

R-C-M-P say an 81-year-old man was hit and killed last night in the Strawberry Hill neighbourhood -- and they are appealing for dashcam footage of the area (at 120-A Street and 75-A Avenue) taken between 6:30 and 7 last night.

The second crash happened at about 8:15 this morning when a youth was hit and seriously injured while walking near the Fraser Highway, close to the Willowbrook shopping centre.

The driver remained at the scene and police hope witnesses can help them sort out what happened.

Fraser Highway eastbound is closed to traffic from 64 Avenue to 196 Street. The road closures will remain in effect for an undetermined amount of time while the scene is being processed.
