Vancouver police say a woman who was struck and killed in the Downtown Eastside on Monday evening is the city’s ninth pedestrian fatality of the year.
At around 7:40 p.m. on Oct. 10, police said a sedan was travelling west on Powell Street and the woman was struck crossing the street mid-block near Gore Street.
She was rushed to hospital and later died, police confirmed.
The driver remained at the scene and speed and alcohol do not appear to be factors in the collision, police added.
Anyone who witnessed the collision, or who may have dash-cam footage, is asked to contact investigators at 604-717-3012.
