Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 28 May, 2024 01:51 PM

Police in Surrey are asking for anyone with dash-camera footage to come forward after a crash that killed two people in the Cloverdale neighbourhood.

Surrey R-C-M-P say officers responded to the crash at around 4:40 p-m yesterday, after a Dodge Ram pickup heading east on Highway 10 crashed into a westbound Acura sedan attempting to make a left turn onto 184th Street.

The Mounties say the drivers of both vehicles were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, but the passenger in the Acura died at the scene.

They say alcohol has been ruled out as a contributing factor of the crash, and anyone with information is asked to call Surrey R-C-M-P.
