Vancouver police say a man succumbed to his injuries Sunday after he was struck by a vehicle last month.
On Feb. 24, the 79-year-old man was crossing East 54th Avenue west of McKinnon Street in South Vancouver when he came into contact with a vehicle turning left, explains a release from the VPD.
Paramedics attended the scene and took the man to hospital with serious injuries.
“Tragically, the male pedestrian succumbed to his injuries and passed away Sunday,” says VPD Constable Tania Visintin.
The driver of the vehicle remained on scene and fully cooperated with collision investigators. The VPD adds that "speed and alcohol are not considered factors."
This is Vancouver’s second pedestrian fatality of 2021.
