A pedestrian was fatally struck in Abbotsford on Friday night (June 4).
Emergency services responded to the incident at Clearbrook Road and Coral Avenue just after 10 p.m.

A truck was stopped several dozen metres past the impact site, and police covered parts of it to preserve evidence from the rain, a source said.
APD traffic and patrol units, along with RCMP’s Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Services, were on scene for several hours, blocking off Clearbrook Road in both directions.
Anyone who was in the area and may have dashcam footage is encouraged to call the APD’s non-emergency line: 604-859-5225.
“The APD would like to remind the public to be aware of the road conditions and to drive accordingly, and further remind pedestrians to wear bright or reflecting clothing and use caution when walking on busy highways or roads,” the press release stated.
