The driver, who has been identified as a 17-year-old male Richmond resident, stopped and provided assistance to the pedestrian, according to police.

“I heard a loud sound and then saw a woman lying on the ground. I could see her arm bleeding,” said Jeff Jiang, a witness who was at a gas station near the incident.

“There were cracks on the windshield of the car.”

About 20 passers-by stayed at the scene to help the victim – some gave her water and some called 911, said Jiang.

The victim was identified by police as a Surrey resident and “was transported to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries,” said Richmond RCMP.
