A 66-year-old woman was seriously injured after being struck by a vehicle at the corner of Cedar Street and Cherry Avenue in Mission on the evening of June 16.

First responders were called to the intersection just after 7:30 pm on June 16, after the woman was struck by a grey Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck.  It appears that the truck had been northbound on Cedar Street, stopped at a red light, then started to turn right onto Cherry Avenue.  At the same time, the woman began crossing westbound across Cedar Street, reportedly with a pedestrian walk signal at the time.  Due to a serious head injury, the woman was airlifted to hospital in critical condition.  There is no further update on her condition at this time. 

The 73-year-old driver of the truck stopped immediately and spoke with investigators; however, Mission RCMP issued a breath demand to him, and he registered a “warn” reading on a roadside screening device.  As a result, he was issued a 3-day immediate roadside prohibition under the Motor Vehicle Act.  The alleged level of impairment did not meet the threshold for criminal impaired driving charges to be recommended.

The Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service attended to examine the scene, and the Chevrolet Silverado will undergo a mechanical inspection.

Mission RCMP highlight this as a reminder for drivers to exercise additional caution and awareness at all intersections, particularly when turning right on a red light.  Any other witnesses who have not yet spoken with police should call Mission RCMP at 604-826-7161, file 2026-7872.
