Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 09 Sep, 2024 10:27 AM

Delta police say they are investigating a single vehicle collision that sent one person to hospital with serious injuries Sunday morning.

James Sandberg, acting inspector with Delta Police, says officers responded to a call around 4 a.m. Saturday morning about a vehicle collision on Highway 17 where they found one person with serious injuries.

Sandberg says the driver has been taken to a local hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Delta police says all lanes have been reopened to the public and it’s too early to determine the cause of the collision.
