The West Vancouver senior left in critical condition after being struck by a pickup truck on Jan. 15 has died.
Fereidoon Demehri, 67, was crossing 21st Street at Gordon Avenue around 6 p.m. in a marked cross walk when he was struck by a northbound driver.
Demehri, who lived in that neigbourhood, suffered multiple fractures and head injuries in the collision and was rushed to hospital. He died on Sunday, according to Const. Jeff Palmer, West Vancouver police spokesman. The department’s victim services unit is assisting his family.
Investigators are examining the vehicle for any mechanical problems that may have been a factor in the fatality. Drugs, alcohol and distracted driving have all been ruled out, Palmer said, and the driver is co-operating with police.
“There is no charge currently contemplated but the investigation is ongoing,” he said.
“If there is (witnesses) out there still and didn’t speak with us, it would be great to hear from them.”
