Authorities in Surrey are currently investigating two distinct pedestrian collisions that occurred on Wednesday night and early Thursday morning, with one incident resulting in a fatality. The Surrey Police Service has confirmed that road closures are in place in the affected areas as part of the ongoing investigations.
Fatal Collision in Whalley Neighborhood
In the first incident, an 81-year-old woman was killed after being struck by a vehicle in the Whalley neighborhood of Surrey on Wednesday night. According to police reports, the vehicle was traveling eastbound in the 13800-block of 102 Avenue when it collided with the pedestrian. Emergency crews responded promptly and administered life-saving measures, but unfortunately, the woman succumbed to her injuries at the scene.
The driver involved in this collision remained at the location and is fully cooperating with the police investigation. Preliminary findings suggest that neither speed nor impairment were contributing factors in this tragic event.

Second Collision Leads to Extended Road Closures
In a separate incident, Surrey police reported a serious collision involving a pedestrian and a vehicle early Thursday morning in the 10400-block of 132 Street. This has prompted the closure of roads in the surrounding area, specifically around 104 Avenue and 132 Street. Authorities have indicated that these closures will remain in effect for several hours as they conduct their investigation and clear the scene.
The Surrey Police Service has stated that more detailed information regarding this second collision will be released at a later time. They are urging the public to avoid the area to facilitate the work of emergency responders and investigators.
