A man who was struck by a vehicle in Mission Saturday evening died at the scene, according to authorities.

First responders were called to the intersection of Lougheed Highway and Grand Street at 7 p.m. for reports a man had been hit, the Mission RCMP said in a statement.

“Sadly, the man succumbed to his injuries,” the statement said.

The cause of the crash is under investigation, but Mounties say impairment has been ruled out.

A stretch of Lougheed Highway was closed while investigators were on scene and the road reopened around 1 a.m.
