A pedestrian that was struck in a crash in Saanich on Wednesday has died, according to officials.
The woman, who was a Saanich resident, was hit by a vehicle at around 9 a.m. Wednesday morning at the intersection of Cedar Hill Cross Road and Blenkinsop Road.
Police said the female pedestrian was 67-years-old and the vehicle involved was a Mini Cooper.
“Despite attempts at both the scene and hospital to stabilize her condition, the woman has since succumbed to her injuries,” Detective Sgt Damian Kowalewich said in a statement.
“Investigators are working to determine exactly what occurred. A fulsome investigation will take place with the assistance of our Detective Division and Collision

On Thursday, the BC Coroners Service said it was investigating the death of a woman in her 60s to determine how, where, when and by what means she came to her unexpected death.
