VANCOUVER Police are investigating a collision in a Kitsilano neighbourhood that killed one pedestrian and sent another person to hospital earlier this month.
The driver of a grey Mazda CX-5 collided with a white Toyota Prius near Balsam Street and West 4th Avenue on October 19 at around 6:45 p.m. As the two vehicles slid through the intersection, two pedestrians standing on the southeast corner were struck. Both pedestrians, a 53-year-old woman and 48-year-old man, were taken to hospital. At the time to the collision, their injuries did not appear life-threatening.
After being admitted to hospital, the condition of the 53-year-old woman worsened and on October 25 she died from her injuries.
The drivers and passengers in the vehicles were uninjured.
