Man In His 20s Dies In Vancouver's Fifth Fatal Collision Of 2019

The Canadian Press, 19 Feb, 2019 02:24 AM

    Vancouver Police are investigating a serious collision on Cambie Street at West 57th Avenue that has claimed the life of a man in his 20s.


    A vehicle with three occupants was travelling southbound on Cambie Street just after 11 p.m. on Saturday, when it collided with a second vehicle at West 57th Avenue, before crashing into a utility pole. Vancouver Fire and Rescue removed the people from the southbound vehicle, and BC Ambulance Service rushed them to hospital, where the driver died. The two passengers remain in hospital with serious injuries.


    The occupants in the second vehicle were not seriously injured.


    Investigators from the VPD’s Collision Investigations Unit are collecting evidence at the scene as they work to determine what may have led to the crash. Anyone who may have witnessed the collision is asked to call 604-717-3012.


    This is Vancouver's fifth fatal collision in 2019.


    Vancouver Police are also asking for additional witnesses to come forward and for dash-cam footage in Saturday’s fatal crash in South Vancouver.

    At 11 p.m. on February 16, a newer-model white 4-door Hyundai Elantra with three occupants was travelling southbound on Cambie Street when it collided with a dark-coloured Acura SUV at West 57th Avenue.


    The white Elantra lost control and crashed into a utility pole, killing the 26-year-old driver from Vancouver. The two passengers from Surrey, a 25-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl, were rushed to hospital with non-life-threatening-injuries.


    The occupants in the second vehicle were not physically injured.


    “Our investigators have spoken with witnesses and believe an orange-coloured VW Beetle may have been travelling with the Elantra around the time of the crash,” says VPD Constable Jason Doucette. “We’re asking the occupants of that vehicle to contact us.”


    Officers from the VPD’s Collision Investigation Unit are asking anyone with dash-cam footage driving along Cambie Street between West King Edward and SW Marine Drive on Saturday between 10:45 p.m. and 11:15 p.m., to contact them at 604-717-3012.
