  • Speed a factor in fatal Maple Ridge crash

Police believe speed was a factor in last week's deadly car crash in the Greater Vancouver Area.

Officers say a Pontiac allegedly crossed into an oncoming line in Maple Ridge on Friday before crashing with a Honda Civic.

The 39-year-old driver of the Pontiac died and the Honda driver was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

A third car was hit by debris, but the driver is O-K.
