Burnaby RCMP’s Criminal Collision Investigation Team (CCIT) has assumed conduct of a collision in the 6600 block of Hastings Street that has sent one pedestrian to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
On Sunday, May 22, 2022 at 11:26 p.m., Burnaby RCMP frontline officers came upon a pedestrian that had been struck by a vehicle in the 6600 block of Hastings Street in Burnaby. A 2019 white Ford Edge was travelling east-bound on Hastings Street when it struck a lone pedestrian crossing the roadway.
The 21-year-old male pedestrian was transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the white Ford Edge remained on scene and is cooperating with the investigation.
Burnaby RCMP’s Criminal Collision Investigation Team is working to determine the circumstances of the crash.

The video shows two men taking turns punching a man's face and kicking his head and stomach as he lies on the ground, while a group of onlookers watches and films the attack.
