CHILLIWACK — A pedestrian has been killed crossing the road in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley in a collision involving a pickup truck.

RCMP in Chilliwack, B.C., say the crash happened Tuesday at about 4:20 p.m. on Vedder Road, between the Highway 1 overpass and Luckakuck Way.

Police say the 63-year-old female pedestrian was crossing the road when she stepped back from the centre median into the southbound lane that she had already crossed.

She was struck by a 2007 GMC Sierra driven by a 63-year-old man who stopped immediately along with witnesses who provided first aid.

Paramedics and firefighters also attended, but the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
