A 42-year-old woman was struck by a vehicle at Seymour Street and Hastings Street in downtown Vancouver on November 12, the third pedestrian collision the Vancouver Police Department reported in the city that week.

The Vancouver Police Department said the collision happened at at 8 p.m. The woman was crossing Seymour Street when a vehicle travelling westbound on Hastings struck her. She was thrown into the intersection and taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

## Driver arrested, investigation continues

Officers located the suspect vehicle shortly after the collision and arrested the driver, the VPD said. No name has been released. Investigators are still building the record of events, which is why they are seeking witness accounts and footage even after the arrest.

The VPD is asking anyone who witnessed the collision, or who has dash-cam or surveillance footage from the area around Seymour Street and Hastings Street on the evening of November 12, to contact investigators.

## Third collision in a week

The VPD described this as the third pedestrian collision in Vancouver that week. One of the three involved a fatality, and two resulted in significant injuries. This was also the second hit-and-run that week.

The pattern follows a week in which the VPD launched Project Vigilance, a traffic safety enforcement program focused on pedestrian and road safety across the city. The program included enforcement of traffic rules around pedestrian crossings and intersections.

## What to do with footage

The intersection of Seymour and Hastings is a busy point in downtown Vancouver, one block from the Seymour Street corridor. Local businesses and passing vehicles often have surveillance or dash-cam systems covering that area.

Residents who were in the area of Seymour Street and Hastings Street on the evening of November 12, 2026, and have dash-cam or surveillance footage should call the VPD's non-emergency line at 604-717-3321.
