    • Driver flees after hitting pedestrians in Surrey, B.C., one in critical condition

    A man is fighting for his life after hit-and-run in the Metro Vancouver city of Surrey overnight that saw a vehicle strike two pedestrians.

    Surrey police say the crash happened near 88th Avenue and Nordel Way at around 11:24 p.m. Thursday.

    Police say the male driver fled and the vehicle was found abandoned nearby soon after.

    They say an adult male pedestrian was taken to hospital in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.
