A 24-year-old man died Tuesday after being struck by a vehicle about 4:20 a.m. on Tideview Road, on the Stz’uminus First Nation near Ladysmith.
Emergency crews attempted lifesaving measures but the man, a resident of the Stz’uminus First Nation, succumbed to his injuries.
The driver of the vehicle, also from the Stz’uminus First Nation, stayed at the scene and co-operated with police.
Evidence gathered so far does not indicate the driver did anything criminal, RCMP said, but the investigation is ongoing.
