An 80-year-old Delta man died Monday in hospital of the injuries he suffered two days earlier in a collision at Cambie Road and Garden City.

Richmond RCMP responded Saturday night to a report that a pedestrian had been struck around 8 p.m.

The man, whose identity has not been released, was rushed to Vancouver General Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries Monday morning.

The driver of the vehicle that struck the man, initially left the scene, according to Richmond RCMP Acting Cpl. Dennis Hwang. But the 31-year-old Richmond driver returned to the scene and has cooperated with police ever since. Neither speed nor alcohol are believed to be factors in the collision.

Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call RCMP const. Jimm Janson at 604-278-1212, or e-mail Richmond_Tips@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.
