Two pedestrians were hospitalized after being hit by a driver in Abbotsford Saturday afternoon, police say.

First responders were called to the crash in the 1600 block of McCallum Road just before 3 p.m., according to the Abbotsford Police Department.

“Emergency crews arrived to find two pedestrians injured after being struck by a van traveling southbound on McCallum Road. The van left the roadway, mounted the sidewalk, and struck the pedestrians,” the department wrote in a statement Sunday.

Police said both people were taken to hospital and one had suffered serious, but not life-threatening, injuries.

The van’s driver, a 33-year-old man, stayed at the scene and is co-operating with the investigation, police said, adding that impairment has been ruled out as a factor.

The APD asked anyone with information or video to call 604-859-5225.
