A 19-year-old pedestrian has died in Prince George, B.C., after being struck by a vehicle Friday night.
The incident occurred around 11 p.m. on the 3700 block of Fifteenth Avenue, Prince George RCMP said in a statement Tuesday.
According to police, the teenager had been part of a group of people that had gathered in the area that evening. He had been hit by a vehicle driven by another member of the same group and taken to hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries, police said.
A 19-year-old driver was located near the scene and arrested for impaired operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm. The woman, who is cooperating with the investigation, has since been released and is awaiting a court date.
Police are asking anyone who has relevant cell phone or dashcam video to call the Prince George RCMP non-emergency line at 250-561-3300.
'Our condolences go out to the family and friends of the young victim in this difficult time,' said Cpl. Jennifer Cooper.

Hockey Canada trial: Videos not evidence of complainant's consent, Crown argues
LONDON — Prosecutors in the sexual assault trial of five hockey players argue two videos in which the complainant says she's 'OK with this' and that 'it was all consensual' are not evidence that she actually consented to the sexual acts that took place inside a London, Ont., hotel room. Article content Prosecutor Meaghan Cunningham says the videos, taken about an hour apart in the early hours of June 19, 2018, did not constitute reasonable steps to determine whether the woman voluntarily consented to specific sexual acts with any specific person, but instead were 'token lip service box checking.' Article content Article content Cunningham says the woman was simply telling Michael McLeod what he wanted to hear, noting the player can be heard telling the woman to 'say it' at the start of the second video. Article content Article content The prosecutor argued that several men who were in the room testified they thought the woman was acting strangely that night but that no one attempted at any point to have a sincere conversation with her about what she wanted. Article content Michael McLeod, Carter Hart, Alex Formenton, Dillon Dube and Callan Foote have pleaded not guilty to sexual assault, while McLeod has also pleaded not guilty to an additional charge of being a party to the offence of sexual assault. Article content Defence lawyers representing the players made their closing submissions to the judge earlier this week, focusing largely on the complainant's credibility and reliability as a witness. Article content Lawyers for McLeod, Hart, Formenton and Dube argued their clients had consensual sexual contact with the woman, while Foote's lawyer argued he didn't touch her, sexually or otherwise. Article content The Crown, which is expected to wrap its closing submissions today, argued Thursday that the complainant's actions should not be judged based on what others believe she should have done that night.
