There was gridlock on Highway One in Abbotsford last night, after a fatality involving a pedestrian.
Shortly after 7 p.m. Thursday evening, witnesses reported seeing a body to the side of the highway heading westbound, just west of McCallum Road.
Before the arrival of emergency services and police, several drivers reportedly pulled over to try and help, but it was too late.
One driver draped a sheet over what one witness describes as a ‘badly broken’ body on the highway shoulder.
Police shut down Highway 1 westbound west of McCallum Road for much of the evening.
