A 78-year-old pedestrian was taken to hospital Thursday afternoon (April 7) with serious, but not life-threatening, injuries after being hit by a vehicle in Abbotsford.
The collision took place at about 2:45 p.m. on Bevan Avenue in front of Abbotsford senior secondary.

Walker said the driver remained on scene and is cooperating with police. Speed and alcohol are not factors, he added.
Investigators are still on scene as of 5 p.m. and traffic is down to one lane.
