A 32-year-old man was said to be alert and talking after he was hit by a pickup truck Monday night in Langley, but after he took a turn for the worse, he was transported to hospital, RCMP said.

The pedestrian was crossing the street near 202A Street and 72B Avenue around 9 p.m. when the collision occurred.
