This evening, February 28th, 2022, at 8:43 pm, Abbotsford Emergency Services responded to a serious collision within the westbound lanes of Highway 1 west of the Sumas exit.
Upon arrival, emergency service workers located a pedestrian struck by a commercial vehicle suffering life-threatening injuries. The pedestrian was transported to hospital, but sadly has succumbed to his injuries. The vehicle driver was uninjured, remained on scene and is cooperating with police. Impaired driving is not a factor.
AbbyPD Patrol Officers, with the assistance of the Integrated Collision Analysis Reconstruction Service (ICARS), remain on scene and are in the early stages of this investigation. Highway 1 westbound at the Sumas exit is currently closed. AbbyPD will provide an update on our social media once the highway reopens.
Investigators seek witnesses and dashcam footage from those who may have been travelling along Highway 1 just before the collision. If you can assist, please call the Abbotsford Police Department at 604-859-5225
