A pedestrian was killed early Friday after being struck by a vehicle on Ryan Road in Courtenay.
Comox Valley RCMP said the incident was reported just after 3 a.m., and despite efforts by first responders, the 44-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver remained at the scene, police said, and evidence suggests that criminality is not a factor.
A police collision analyst and the B.C. Coroners Service both attended.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Comox Valley RCMP at 250-338-1321.
