Burnaby Mounties are investigating the discovery of a badly injured man near the Willingdon Avenue eastbound Highway 1 off-ramp Wednesday morning.

Officers with the Port Mann Freeway Patrol contacted the Burnaby RCMP shortly before 1 a.m. on Sept. 3 after a man in his early 50s had been found on Willingdon Avenue. The man was suffering from head injuries and taken to hospital where he remains in critical condition.

“He’s in critical condition and can’t speak,” Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis said, adding officers are still trying to positively ID the individual.

Investigators are in the early stages of the investigation and haven’t determined exactly how the man ended up on Willingdon Avenue.

“He appears to have either fallen or jumped or was dumped out of a car or truck,” Buis told the NOW.

Officers are now looking for a beige pick-up truck that was seen in the area at the time the man was found.

“It may or may not have been involved but was seen in the area,” Buis added.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922.
