Delta police are still seeking witnesses as the investigation into a Nov. 4 fatal pedestrian accident in Tsawwassen continues.

Police were called to the intersection of 16th Avenue and 56th Street just after 7 a.m. According to police, an elderly South Delta man was crossing 56th Street from east to west in the crosswalk when he was struck by an SUV making a left turn from 16th Avenue to 56th Street northbound. The man was rushed to hospital with severe injuries, and died later that day.

Out of respect to the man's family, police have not released his name.

"We do know that there were several vehicles in the area at the time of the collision, but, as of yet, not many witnesses have come forward," said Delta police public affairs coordinator Sharlene Brooks.

"No matter how trivial or how little witnesses might think the information they have, it could mean the difference in completing our investigation."

Brooks said the driver of the SVU has fully cooperated with police. Because the investigation is still active, no charges have been laid.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Const. Derek Gallamore at 604-946-4411.
