A pedestrian was seriously injured after being struck by a pickup truck in Maple Ridge on a dark and rainy Wednesday evening.

Paramedics, firefighters and police were called to the scene of the accident at 136th Avenue and 232nd Street around 6 p.m., local RCMP confirmed.

Police tape was placed on a marked crosswalk at the intersection Wednesday evening as officers monitored the scene — but authorities have not confirmed whether the pedestrian was using it at the time of the collision.

British Columbia Emergency Health Services told CTV News the pedestrian was taken to hospital in “serious but stable” condition.

“Roads in the area were closed for several hours following the incident,” Ridge Meadows RCMP wrote in an email. “This is an active and ongoing investigation and no further information is available.”
