Vancouver police arrested a Surrey man Saturday night after a woman was struck by a car and died.

In a prepared statement, Vancouver Police Department spokesman Sgt. Steve Addison said the 66-year-old was walking near East Broadway and Commercial Drive around 10:20 p.m. when she was hit by a 2005 silver Acura TL, which then fled east without stopping.

Addison said police located the suspected hit-and-run vehicle near Clark Drive and Powell Street and arrested a 30-year-old man from Surrey.

Alcohol and speed are suspect factors in the incident.
