85-year-old hit by truck, killed crossing Kitsilano street

An 85-year-old man has died after being hit by a truck Sunday morning in Kitsilano.

Police say the senior appeared to have been crossing West 4th Avenue near Larch Street around 10:30 a.m. when a three-ton truck struck him.

Investigators don’t know if he had been jaywalking or using a crosswalk, so they’re looking for witnesses.

The driver remained at the scene.

It is the city’s fifth traffic death of 2012.
