Senior dead in fatal crash

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 04 Dec, 2024 01:26 PM
  • Senior dead in fatal crash

A 78-year-old woman is dead after ahead-on crash in the Fraser Valley last night.

R-C-M-P say initial evidence suggests the woman was driving south on Wilson Street, outside Mission, when her car crossed the centre line.

The car crashed into an oncoming S-U-V and the woman died of her injuries, while the other driver, a 76-year-old woman, sustained non-life threatening injuries.

The Mounties say it has not yet been determined why the first driver's car crossed the centre line into oncoming traffic.
