BC Highway Patrol (BHP) are looking for witnesses after a pedestrian was killed in a collision on Highway 1 in Hope early Monday morning (July 29).
"The male pedestrian may have parked a motorcycle and may have been seen walking on the side of the highway prior to the collision," said Cpl. Melissa Jongema, the BHP media relations officer.
"We are appealing to commercial vehicles, and anyone with dashcam, who may have been travelling westbound or eastbound on Highway 1 in the Exit 165 area between midnight and 1 a.m. on July 29 to contact BC Highway Patrol at 604-702-4039 and refer to file 2024-32071."
BHP and Hope RCMP were both on scene after the collision took place between midnight and 12:45 a.m., west of Flood Hope Road.
The fatal incident resulted in Highway 1 being closed eastbound, with a detour implemented from Highway 9 at Bridal Falls to Highway 7.
The highway was later reopened at around 8 a.m.
