VANCOUVER — Two people died Wednesday in separate crashes in the Lower Mainland.
Vancouver Police say a 39-year-old motorcyclist was killed after colliding with an Audi that had been turning left on the city's west side.
Just after 7 a.m. Wednesday, a motorcycle was travelling southbound on MacDonald at West Broadway when it collided with a blue Audi making a left turn westbound onto Broadway.
The motorcycle driver was rushed to hospital and died later that day from his injuries. The two occupants of the Audi were not physically injured.
The VPD Collision Investigation Unit is working to determine the circumstances surrounding the crash. Anyone who witnessed the collision who has not yet spoken with police is asked to contact officers at 604-717-3012.
The two people in the vehicle were not hurt and police say the investigation into the collision is continuing.
In Abbotsford, police say a 79-year-old pedestrian died after she was hit by a family van in that Fraser Valley city at about 7:30 p.m.
It happened mid-block on a busy street and investigators say the 52-year-old driver remained at the scene and was extremely shaken, but co-operated with officers.
Names of the motorcyclist and the pedestrian have not been released.
