UPDATE: 

R-C-M-P in Surrey say their investigation into a deadly overnight crash has found the victim was not a pedestrian.

The Mounties say one person was killed and another taken to hospital with serious injuries after the crash, which led to ongoing road closures in the area.

Police say they initially believed a pedestrian had been struck and killed in the crash.

However, the Mounties now say the victim was a passenger who was ejected from the vehicle.
