Two pedestrians are in hospital following a vehicle accident in Prince George this weekend.
RCMP were called out to the intersection of the Hart Highway and Shady Lane just after 5:00 on Saturday evening.
A vehicle had struck two individuals trying to cross the intersection, resulting in injuries to both, and the need to have one transported to Vancouver for care.
Officers closed down the Highway for several hours as they investigated the incident, the second on that particular stretch of highway, and the third overall, this month.
Police are reminding residents that it is getting darker earlier, and weather conditions are also impacting the visibility of drivers.
They are asking pedestrians to wear colourful, reflective, clothing to make sure they are easy to see when out and the streets, and to only cross at marked crosswalks.
