CHILLIWACK — It’s been a year since a 55-year-old was struck by a vehicle on Keith Wilson Road west of Chilliwack, but Chilliwack RCMP have not given up on their investigation.

Police are still searching for answers after a Chilliwack woman was hit by a vehicle late in the evening on Wednesday, October 13, 2021 in the 41700 block of Keith Wilson Road in Greendale, near Chadsey Road, just before 11 p.m.

An RCMP investigation has revealed the woman had left her home on Keith Wilson Road at approximately 8 p.m. and was walking to visit her neighbours to deliver some mail when she was struck by a vehicle, according to Sgt. Krista Vrolyk, media spokesperson for the Upper Fraser Valley RCMP detachment in Chilliwack. Her family became concerned when she didn’t return and began searching for her. They were shocked to find her laying unconscious and bleeding in the ditch, Vrolyk said. She was transported to hospital where she was treated for a brain bleed, collapsed lung, and multiple fractured bones.

“This event was life changing for this woman and her family. Someone out there knows something,” Vrolyk pleaded. “If you were the driver of the vehicle involved in this collision, we would like to speak with you.”
