Woman, 23, Dies In Hospital After Being Hit By A Car In East Vancouver

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 05 Apr, 2018 10:22 AM
    VANCOUVER — A 23-year-old woman has died in hospital from what at first appeared to be minor injuries after being hit by a car in east Vancouver.
     
     
    Const. Jason Doucette says at about around 9:15 p.m. on April 4, a young woman and her friend were in a crosswalk on East 12 Avenue at Clark Drive, when she was struck by a white Honda Civic turning west from Clark. 
     
     
    Paramedics took the pedestrian to hospital with what was originally believed to be minor injuries. Unfortunately, her condition deteriorated and she died early this morning.
     
     
    The 61-year-old driver remained at the scene and is co-operating with police.
     
     
    Doucette says impairment and speed don't appear to be factors.
     
     
    The death is Vancouver's second pedestrian fatality of 2018.
