Police say a driver has been arrested after a woman was struck by a vehicle and seriously injured last week in northern British Columbia. The 54-year-old pedestrian was struck by a pickup truck just before 9:30 a.m. Thursday near the intersection of Domano Boulevard and McGill Crescent in Prince George. The area was closed to traffic for several hours as the woman was transported to hospital and police investigated the collision. In an update Tuesday, the Prince George RCMP said a 48-year-old man was arrested in relation to the crash. “Alcohol is believed to be a factor in this incident,” the update said. “The investigation is continuing.” The suspect was held in police custody pending a scheduled court appearance. Anyone with information or video related to the incident is asked to contact the Prince George RCMP at 250-561-3300.
