A pedestrian was rushed to hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries after being struck by a vehicle in Surrey Wednesday.

The collision occurred at about 5:30 p.m. in the 700-block of 176 Street, Mounties said.

They said it appeared that the man had been crossing the street mid-block when he was struck by a northbound vehicle, and that his injuries may be life-threatening. From CTV's Chopper 9 it appeared he'd been loaded onto an air ambulance and taken to hospital.

The driver remained at the scene and is co-operating with police.

Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or to leave a tip anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
