Mounties in Burnaby are looking for witnesses or dash cam footage after a crash this weekend sent one person to the hospital.

They say the crash happened around 3 a-m Sunday on Willingdon Avenue near Still Creek Drive, and involved a black Mercedes with three travellers and a red Hyundai SUV with two occupants.

Police say the driver of the Hyundai was brought to the hospital with what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.

The Mounties say though it is early in their investigation, officers believe impairment is a factor in the crash and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
