A pedestrian suffered life-threatening injuries after a collision in Vancouver Monday morning, according to authorities.

Just after 6:30 a.m., the Vancouver Police Department posted to social media to inform the public that the intersection of West Broadway and Cambie Street was closed due to the “pedestrian-involved collision.”

The department posted again roughly an hour and a half later to report the roads were reopened.

No details about the crash were released but a VPD spokesperson told CTV News in an email that the pedestrian’s injuries are considered life-threatening.

“Our Collision Investigation Unit is investigating the circumstances of the collision, however we have not yet reached any conclusion,” the email said.
