A pedestrian was seriously injured after being hit by a pickup truck in Maple Ridge on a dark, rainy Wednesday night.

Paramedics, firefighters and police were called to the scene of the crash at 136 Avenue and 232 Street around 6 p.m., local RCMP confirmed.

Police tape covered a marked crosswalk at the intersection Wednesday night as officers surveyed the scene, but authorities have not confirmed whether the pedestrian was using it at the time of the collision.

BC Emergency Health Services told CTV News the pedestrian was taken to hospital in “serious but stable” condition.

“Roads in the area were closed for several hours following the incident,” Ridge Meadows RCMP wrote in an email. “This is an active and ongoing investigation and no further information is available.”
