Police have yet to name a 53-year-old Richmond man who died after being struck by an SUV near the Pacific Highway border crossing in South Surrey.

According to Surrey Mounties, the man was hit as he ran across 176th Street, just south of 8th Avenue around 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 20.

RCMP say the man who died was a passenger on a southbound charter bus. He had got off the bus just before the accident and was understood to be crossing 176th Street outside of a crosswalk when he was hit by a Mitsubishi Outlander traveling north.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the SUV, a 43-year-old Surrey man, reported the incident and is co-operating with police.

Police said on Tuesday the investigation is still ongoing and any witnesses are asked to call Surrey RCMP B.C. at 604-599-0502.
