RCMP investigate speed as factor after pedestrian killed in Surrey crash

RCMP say a pedestrian struck in Surrey, B.C., on Friday evening has died of his injuries.

Police were called to 61A Avenue at 144 Street just after 8:30 p.m. on April 12, where they found the 23-year-old with serious injuries.

Both the man and the woman driving a Mercedes that struck him were taken to hospital.

In a Monday media release, RCMP said that further investigation had determined that along with hitting the pedestrian, the female driver also hit a Ford F150 that was stopped at a red light, causing it to roll over.

Mounties believe speed was a contributing factor in the collision.

Anyone with information, including video shot in the area of 144 Street, is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.
