Tuesday night's fatal collision took the life of an 81-year-old woman.

Richmond RCMP says an 81-year-old woman has died after a collision with an SUV in Richmond, at No. 1 Rd. and Tucker Ave at approximately 6:30 p.m. Tuesday night.

Cpl. Dennis Hwang says the 78-year-old driver of the vehicle stayed at the scene, and the incident is being investigated.
