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.
Police are asking anyone who may have witnessed this collision or who may have dash cam video while travelling on Hastings Street near Sperling Avenue in Burnaby from 11:00 p.m. to midnight on May 22, 2022 to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999.

Ottawa announced on Tuesday that all air travellers entering Canada, except for those coming from the U.S., would need to be tested for COVID-19 upon arrival at the airport and isolate until they get their results, even if they are fully vaccinated against the virus.
For the first time, the COVID-19 virus has been detected in Canadian wildlife. Environment Canada says the virus was detected late last month in three wild white-tailed deer in Quebec.
British Columbia's website says eligibility will expand to those 18 and older as of January and Ontario hinted earlier this week that larger segments of the population could soon be included in its booster rollout.
It's too early to say whether Canada's latest requirement to test arriving air travellers for COVID-19 will be extended to include those coming from the United States, Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said Wednesday. The federal government is in discussions with the provinces on that issue but is ready to act to implement such a requirement for incoming U.S. air travellers if necessary, he said.
Several young Canadians are taking the federal government to court in an effort to strike down the minimum voting age. They argue that denying citizens under the age of 18 the right to vote in federal elections is unconstitutional.
