For the second time in as many days, a pedestrian has died after being hit by a driver in Chilliwack.
The individual was struck in the intersection of Vedder and Promontory roads around 2:45 p.m. Tuesday, according to police.
Authorities have identified the victim as an adult man.
Police closed the intersection and called in collision analysts, and say the driver is co-operating with the investigation.
“We are working to determine the circumstances of this incident, which has tragically claimed a life. The intersection will be closed for quite some time, most likely into the evening hours,” said Staff Sgt. Layne Penner in a Chilliwack RCMP statement Tuesday afternoon.
Anyone who witnessed the crash or has related information is asked to call the detachment at 604-792-4611.
The death comes after a fatal crash involving another pedestrian Monday night in the 3500 block of Boundary Road.
