A woman is in hospital after she was hit by a dump truck in Richmond Monday morning.

Richmond RCMP says the serious collision happened around 8:45 am at No. 2 Road and Steveston Highway.

“According to a witness, the pedestrian was walking Westbound in the crosswalk … when she was struck by the dump truck which was turning Northbound onto No 2 Road from Steveston Highway,” the force said in a news release.

Now, police are looking to speak to more witnesses who saw what happened.

Police say the woman suffered “significant” injuries and is still in hospital.
