A 74-year old Quesnel man who was struck by a vehicle while assisting a stuck motorist has passed away.
The man suffered serious injuries and Quesnel RCMP now confirm that he succumbed to those injuries in hospital.
Police responded to a report of a motor vehicle accident on Highway 97 south of Kersley back on December 30th.

They say a couple of motorists had stopped and were attempting to pull the truck out of the ditch.
Police say a man that lived nearby also attended, and was attempting to assist with traffic control before he was struck by a vehicle that was unable to stop in time due to limited visibility and icy road conditions.
