Two dead, one hurt in separate accidents on Metro Vancouver roads

VANCOUVER – A 15-year-old girl has died in hospital, less than a day after being run down while in a marked crosswalk in Port Coquitlam, B.C.

RCMP confirm the unnamed teen died early Wednesday morning.

Mounties are looking for an older man with greying hair who was driving the black Ford F150 pickup truck with black canopy that left the scene after the girl was hit.

The teen is one of three people killed or injured on Metro Vancouver roads in accidents on Tuesday afternoon.

A 50-year-old male cyclist died when he was pinned by a tractor-trailer rig on a busy route near a skating complex in Burnaby.

And a 13-year-old boy was hit by a car in Vancouver, but the driver of the vehicle stayed at the scene and the youth is now listed in stable condition in hospital.
