A Surrey firefighter was hit by a pickup truck while walking home from a neighbor’s house on Sunday afternoon. The firefighter, Brennon Quennell, was walking on the narrow gravel shoulder of 74 Avenue just before 192 Street around 4:55 p.m. when he was hit from behind by a grey pickup truck. The truck did not appear to slow down and sent Quennell tumbling into the waterlogged ditch. Quennell suffered only minor injuries, but his family has experienced the deadly nature of local roads before. In December 2019, his mother-in-law was struck and killed by a vehicle while using a crosswalk at 192 Street and 80 Avenue. Quennell says he is upset that he cannot walk safely in front of his own home and has spoken with the city several times about the need to slow down vehicles or create a path for pedestrians. Surrey Coun. Linda Annis called the video of the incident “shocking” and says more needs to be done to increase safety in the area.
