Pedestrian dead after collision in Abbotsford
A woman was found dead after a collision on Highway 11 in Abbotsford Saturday night, according to authorities.
Officers were called to the 5300 block of the highway at 11:31 p.m. where a female victim “appeared to have sustained serious and life-threatening injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene,” according to the Abbotsford Police Department.
Investigators have not yet been able to identify the woman. A spokesperson for the department told CTV news that the driver and witnesses remained on scene and are co-operating with the investigation. Impairment is not believed to be a factor.
The highway was closed between Harris and Clayburn roads for the investigation but has since reopened.
