Surrey police say a pedestrian was transported to hospital in critical condition after being struck by a vehicle near the intersection of 108 Avenue and 142 Street late Wednesday night.
What happened
According to a Surrey Police Service news release, officers from the RCMP Surrey Provincial Operations Support Unit (SPOSU) responded to the collision at about 11:56 p.m. on Wednesday, July 15. The pedestrian, described by police as a man, sustained serious injuries and was taken to hospital in critical condition. Police said the driver remained on scene and is cooperating with investigators.
Who is investigating
Multiple investigative teams have been deployed to examine the scene and determine what led to the crash. The news release says the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service (ICARS) attended, and SPOSU’s Major Crime Unit has since assumed responsibility for the investigation.
"The cause of the collision remains under investigation," Surrey Police said in a news release.
Police appeal for witnesses
Surrey police are asking anyone who was in the area shortly before midnight on July 15 and who witnessed the collision, or who has dash-cam or CCTV footage, to contact the Surrey Police Service non-emergency line at 604-599-0502 and quote file 26-22639 (SU).

Local context
Late-night collisions that leave pedestrians critically injured raise immediate questions about crosswalk safety, lighting, driver behaviour and the quality of pedestrian infrastructure. While authorities have not released details on factors such as vehicle speed, impairment or road conditions, the involvement of ICARS and the Major Crime Unit indicates a full collision reconstruction is under way.
For residents and nearby businesses, the investigation may mean lane closures and extended presence of forensic teams while evidence is collected and the scene is examined. Police reliance on public footage and witness testimony underlines how civilian dash-cam and CCTV can be pivotal in clarifying events and accelerating inquiries.
