  • Vehicle crashes into Surrey home

The Surrey RCMP is investigating a collision that occurred in the early morning of Thursday, at 3:06 a.m.

 At approximately 3:05 a.m., Surrey RCMP attempted to initiate a traffic stop on a white BMW sedan in the area of 130 Street and 72 Avenue.

The driver failed to stop and the vehicle fled from police at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was later located crashed into a residence several blocks away.

 The driver, a 21-year-old man, was arrested for Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle and Flight from Police. He was treated on scene for minor injuries and released to appear in court at a later date.  Speed and dangerous driving were contributing factors in the collision.

Frontline officers remain on scene while structural engineers are being consulted”.
