    COQUITLAM, B.C. — RCMP are looking for the driver of a mobility scooter in Coquitlam, B.C., after a pedestrian was struck and killed.
     
    Mounties say an 86-year-old woman was bumped by a man driving an electric scooter at the corner of an intersection on Sept. 15.
     
    The woman fell and was declared dead in hospital.
     
    Cpl. Michael McLaughlin says the incident appears to be a "tragic accident with no criminal intent" but police need to talk to the scooter operator.
