'Bizarre' Crash In Surrey: Driver-Less SUV Criss-Crosses On Roadway, Hit House

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 25 Oct, 2015 01:40 PM
    SURREY, B.C. — A half-dozen people were sent to hospital on the weekend after what police in Surrey are calling a bizarre incident in which a pair of vehicles collided before crashing into two separate homes.
     
    RCMP officer Dale Carr says a black SUV drove into a car (at the intersection of 92nd Avenue and 152nd Street) and sent it careening into a nearby house around 6 a.m. on Sunday.
     
    The driver and passenger of the SUV exited the vehicle but failed to put it into park.
     
    Carr says the vehicle rolled unoccupied across the street before striking a pole, which jarred the transmission into drive.
     
    He says it then drove itself back across the roadway and into the front of a neighbouring house.
     
    The occupants of both vehicles were taken to hospital with what Carr describes as minor injuries.
