Highway 3 crash kills both drivers

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 05 Apr, 2024 04:07 PM
  • Highway 3 crash kills both drivers

Mounties in southeastern B-C say a head-on crash on Highway 3 has killed the drivers in both vehicles. 

It happened near the community of Kitchener, northeast of Creston, yesterday afternoon when one vehicle crossed the centre line. 

Police say a 33-year-old woman and a 65-year-old man are dead, while a passenger in one of the vehicles is in hospital in serious condition. 

Alcohol impairment may have been a factor, but police say because both drivers are dead, no criminal investigation will take place.

Richmond, B.C., resident Edward Cheung says many community members feel they know exactly what will happen if a supervised safe consumption drug site is established in the city. Cheung, whose parents live close to a supportive housing complex that opened in 2019, said in an interview on Wednesday that the neighbourhood has dealt with a spike in petty crime since then, and he is worried something similar would happen with a safe consumption site.
