A 23-year-old Vancouver woman has died after being hit by a car Wednesday night.

At around 9:15 p.m. the woman and her friend were in a crosswalk on East 12th Avenue at Clark Drive when she was struck by a white Honda Civic turning west from Clark.

Paramedics took the woman to hospital with what was originally believed to be minor injuries, however her condition deteriorated and she died early Thursday morning.

The 61-year-old driver, who is also from Vancouver, remained at the scene and is cooperating with investigators. Police said impairment and speed do not appear to be factors in the collision.

 This is Vancouver’s second pedestrian death of 2018.
