The Burnaby RCMP says it is investigating after a man\u2019s body was found lying in the eastbound lanes of Highway 1 just east of Kensington Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Officers were called to the area shortly before 6 a.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe male was obviously deceased and had injuries consistent with being hit by a vehicle,\u201d Mounties said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Police say they closed all eastbound lanes to make sure important evidence was preserved. The lanes remained closed for more than 12 hours but have since reopened.<\/p>\n

Mounties say it is possible the man was killed by a vehicle that then left the scene.<\/p>\n

BC Highway Patrol (BCHP) Sgt. Michael McLaughlin says officers are investigating all possibilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s crucial that we speak to anyone who saw anything unusual on Highway 1 near Kensington between 5:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. this morning,\u201d McLaughlin said.<\/p>\n

Anyone with dash cam video from the area near Kensington in the minutes leading up to the body being found is asked to call the BCHP (604-526-9744) immediately, even if the video doesn\u2019t show the collision itself. Officers say they are looking to review footage to see if there is any important information visible in the background.<\/p>\n

Police say they will provide an update later Tuesday morning. <\/p>\n
