    'Horrific' Car Crash In Downtown Vancouver Kills 68-Year-Old Driver, Passenger, 3 Injured

    • 'Horrific' Car Crash In Downtown Vancouver Kills 68-Year-Old Driver, Passenger, 3 Injured
    Vancouver Police say a 68-year-old man and 70-year-old woman were the victims of the single vehicle crash that also injured three pedestrians in downtown Vancouver.
     
    Acting Sgt. Brian Montague says the man and woman were in a white Lexus SUV that veered out of control while travelling northbound on Seymour Street, just south of Davie Street, late Monday afternoon.
     
    The vehicle slammed into a tree, shearing it off, before flipping and skidding on its side into a pole.
     
     
    Three pedestrians at the busy intersection also suffered various injuries ranging from cuts and bruises to a broken leg and punctured lung.
     
    All three men, in their 30s, are expected to recover.
     
     
    Montague says while it is clear speed was a factor, investigators will work with the coroner to determine if the driver suffered a medical condition just before the crash.
