Cooper added whether you are a driver or a pedestrian, there are measures that need to be taken into account whether that is slowing down for drivers, or wearing extra reflective gear for pedestrians.

Further to that, another pedestrian was struck and killed on first avenue recently as well.

“We’ve seen the snow, we’ve seen the ice, we’re getting the cold frigid temperatures so we need to adjust our driving behaviour,” said Doug Mac Donald with ICBC.

Mac Donald added stopping speed, steering ability, and other aspects of driving are greatly affected during the winter, and drivers need to take action in response.

Mounties and members of the BC Highway Patrol will be out in full force this holiday season at Counter Attack checkpoints while also targeting speeding motorists on roads in the region.
