Witnesses are needed for a collision involving a pedestrian on the evening of Monday, Nov. 3.

Police were called to Lansdowne Drive and Eagleridge Drive shortly after 5:30 p.m. Investigators believe a 73-year-old woman was crossing Lansdowne in the crosswalk when she was hit by a white Buick Century that was headed south on Lansdowne.

She suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries and was taken to hospital. The driver stayed at the scene and co-operated with police. Speed and alcohol do not appear to be contributing factors but the dark, rainy weather likely played a part, according to police.

Anyone who saw what happened is asked to call Coquitlam RCMP at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2014-31613.
