In South Vancouver, a busy intersection had to be shut down for several hours on Thursday morning following a collision between a vehicle and a pedestrian.
The Vancouver Police Department took quick action by closing off Knight Street to southbound traffic at the intersection of 41st Avenue after the incident occurred at approximately 5:30 a.m.
Emergency paramedics rushed to the scene and transported the injured pedestrian to the hospital for assessment, while the driver involved in the accident stayed at the location.
