A woman was killed in a hit-and-run Thursday night along the Trans-Canada Highway near Green Road just outside of Duncan.

“Emergency crews attended, where they unfortunately found the woman deceased at the scene,” Cpl. James Grandy, RCMP spokesperson, said in a statement Friday.

“The BC Coroners Service attended and confirmed the death.”

The victim has not yet been identified.

Following the incident, which police believe occurred at about 9:50 p.m., the highway between Beverly Street and Green Road in North Cowichan was closed from at least 11:30 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. for police investigation.
