Coquitlam R-C-M-P say a man was arrested for allegedly driving his vehicle through the scene of a fatal collision.

Police say a passenger in one of the vehicles involved in the October 19th collision has since died of their injuries and a driver remains in hospital.

They say while first responders were on scene for the collision, a car disregarded city road closure barricades and police crime scene tape to enter the collision site.

Police say the car narrowly missed emergency personnel working the collision investigation.
