SURREY – A pedestrian hit by a Surrey Police Service (SPS) cruiser has died. 

Police has notified the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) following the collision between an SPS police vehicle and a pedestrian that has resulted in the pedestrian passing away.

On December 14 at approximately 7:20 pm, an SPS police vehicle was involved in a collision with an adult female pedestrian on 152 Street between 64 Avenue and 66A Avenue.
