Vancouver Police are asking the public to come forward with any information they may have about about a collision that claimed the life of a man.
On Wednesday, October 18, just after 6 am, a 43-year-old Vancouver man was driving a sedan east on Marine Drive when his vehicle struck a pedestrian who was crossing mid-block near Ross Street.
