An investigation has been launched after a woman was fatally struck by a pickup truck in Chilliwack.
The fatal collision occurred on Tuesday, November 25th around 4:22pm on Vedder Road between the Highway 1 overpass and Luckakuck Way.
“A 63-year-old female from Chilliwack was attempting to cross Vedder Road when she was struck by a 2007 GMC Sierra driven by a 63-year-old male, also from Chilliwack,” said Sgt. Alexandra Greenley.
“The pedestrian had crossed the roadway halfway and was on the center median before stepping back into the southbound lanes.”
The driver and witnesses stopped immediately and provided first aid until emergency crews arrived. Despite their best efforts, the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
“It was initially reported that the collision involved a semi-truck,’ added Sgt. Alexandra Greenley. “This was determined not to be the case; the only vehicle involved was the GMC Sierra pickup truck.”
Investigators do not believe that speed, alcohol, or driver inattention played a role in the collision.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 and quote file number 2025-50265.
