One person has died and another is in hospital after Vancouver police said a Surrey driver collided with pedestrians in a crosswalk.

The crash happened at about 5:20 p.m. on Sunday when a Vancouver woman and her husband, both in their 70s, were in a marked crosswalk at Pacific Street and Richards Street, police said in a news release Wednesday.

A delivery van hit them when it made a left turn onto Pacific.

The driver, a 37-year-old Surrey man, stayed at the scene and is cooperating with investigators.

Anyone with dashcam footage or who may have seen the crash is asked to call police at 604-717-3012.

It is the city’s first pedestrian fatality of 2020.
