SURREY - A semi-trailer hit a 50-year-old woman while she was crossing a busy street in Guildford this morning, killing her.

Police suspect the truck ran a red light.

"Early indications are that is the case," Surrey RCMP Sgt. Drew Grainger said.

The collision happened at 7:20 a.m., in the 14800-block of 104th Avenue. The woman was crossing at a crosswalk.
