B.C. man dies after being struck by pickup truck while on U.S. long-distance run
A Surrey, B.C., man has died after he was hit by a pickup truck while participating in a long-distance run south of the border on Saturday morning. The Washington State Patrol says that Hui Li, 55, died following the collision, which occurred just after 3:30 a.m. PT on Saturday at Whidbey Island, Wash. It came as he was participating in the Ragnar Northwest Passage race, which runs from Blaine, Wash., to Langley on Whidbey Island. The relay race covers a distance of just over 310 kilometres (193.1 miles) over two days. Brad Bulloch, a spokesperson for the Washington State Patrol, said that impairment is not suspected in the crash. "It was eventually determined the pedestrian, or the runner, had stepped out of the designated racing area on the shoulder and into the southbound lane of Highway 20," he told CBC News in an interview. The spokesperson said that cones had been set up to separate runners from vehicles on the highway, though he did not know if there were cones specifically at the spot where the collision occurred. Bulloch said that the driver was co-operative with police, and Li succumbed to his injuries in a Seattle hospital after the crash. The trooper added that his family had been notified of the death.
