A tragic incident has occurred on a highway in British Columbia, as a man was found dead and believed to be the victim of a hit-and-run. According to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the incident took place on a highway near Chilliwack on Sunday morning.
The victim, who has not been identified, was discovered by a passerby on the side of the road. The RCMP were immediately notified and arrived at the scene to investigate. They have determined that the man was struck by a vehicle and have launched a search for the driver responsible.
The highway was closed for several hours as the RCMP conducted their investigation. They are now appealing to the public for any information or witnesses who may have seen the incident or have knowledge of the driver involved.
The RCMP have also stated that they are working with the BC Coroners Service to determine the cause of death and to notify the victim’s family. They are urging anyone with information to come forward and assist in their investigation.
This tragic incident serves as a reminder for drivers to always be cautious and responsible on the roads. Hit-and-run accidents not only have devastating consequences for the victims and their families, but also for the community as a whole.
