  • Man dead after a pickup truck crashed into a bus stop in Surrey

A 33-year-old man died after a pickup truck crashed into a bus stop bench in Surrey, B.C., where two people were waiting for a bus.

Surrey RCMP say officers responded to the scene on Saturday afternoon after receiving a report of a motor vehicle collision.

Police say the Ford F350 hit the bus stop bench after crossing into oncoming traffic, and the crash left two pedestrians injured and caused damage to the surrounding property.

A 33-year-old man was declared dead at the scene while another man in his 30s was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.

The driver was arrested at the scene and RCMP says drugs and speed have not been ruled out as the cause of the incident.

The incident is still under investigation and police are asking witnesses who have further information about the crash to contact them.
