Tragedy on Lougheed Highway: Pedestrian Fatally Struck in Pitt Meadows
Hey everyone, I want to talk about something really tragic that unfolded this morning in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia — something that not only shook the local community but also reminds us of how fragile life can be.
Early this morning, at around 2:40 a.m., a devastating accident occurred along the Lougheed Highway near Harris Road. According to Ridge Meadows RCMP, they received a report of a serious collision involving a pedestrian. And sadly, when officers arrived on the scene, it was confirmed that the woman who had been struck had died from her injuries. It's an incident that has left a deep impact on everyone who heard about it.

Right now, the investigation is still active and ongoing. RCMP have not released further details about the circumstances of the crash — such as how it happened or whether any drivers remained on the scene. But what we do know is that this accident has caused major traffic disruptions. All westbound lanes of Lougheed Highway are currently closed at Harris Road, and even two eastbound lanes have been blocked off. Commuters this morning were being asked to find alternate routes, with major delays reported around the Pitt River Bridge area.
Authorities from several investigative units are working on the scene to gather evidence and piece together what led to this fatal incident. They've also called on the public for help. If you happened to be in the area around that time, or if your vehicle dashcam caught anything suspicious or informative, police are urging you to contact them at 604-463-6251. And for those who witnessed this horrible scene or are struggling emotionally, the Ridge Meadows RCMP is offering support through its Victim Services program.
It’s heartbreaking. One moment someone is walking, perhaps just trying to get home or heading somewhere early, and in the blink of an eye — it all ends. It’s a stark reminder that as drivers and pedestrians alike, we share the road and need to be constantly aware, careful, and compassionate.
So, please, if you're driving — especially during those quiet early hours — stay alert, slow down, and keep your eyes open. Our roads should be safe for everyone.
This story is still developing, and updates will likely follow once more is known. Until then, let's keep the victim and her loved ones in our thoughts.
