Previous story:
A 35-year-old man was found dead in a ditch next to the Lougheed Highway in Mission, the victim of an apparent hit-and-run that Mission RCMP are now trying to solve.
The man was walking along the shoulder of Lougheed Highway last night in the 34000 block when he was hit and thrown into a ditch, along with small pieces of debris from the vehicle.
Mission RCMP aren’t sure what sort of vehicle it was, or what exact time it happened, but are hoping the driver comes forward.
A two-kilometre stretch of the highway was closed in both directions, but has since reopened.
The victim was without a fixed address, but mostly resided in the Vancouver area. His name is not being released until next of kin are notified.
Anyone who might have information related to the accident are asked to call Mission RCMP.
