Police are looking for witnesses or dashcam video that might have captured a July 18 crash in Burnaby that killed a 77-year-old pedestrian.

Officers came upon the scene just after 5 p.m., according to Burnaby RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Mike Kalanj.

He said witnesses have told police the man was in a crosswalk on Grange Street at Barker Avenue when he was hit by a car travelling westbound on Grange.

The pedestrian was sent to hospital but police confirmed on Tuesday morning that the senior has since died.

“Our deepest sympathies go to the family and friends of the victim,” said Kalanj, in a statement. “We are once again asking for anyone who may have witnessed this collision or have dashcam video to please come forward.”

The driver of the vehicle remained on scene and continues to cooperate with the investigation, police said.

The intersection is equipped with traffic lights, but it’s unclear whether they had been activated at the time of the crash, according to Kalanj.

Police are now asking anyone who witnessed the collision or might have dashcam video of it to contact Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999.
