RICHMOND, B.C. - Police in Metro Vancouver say two 15-year-old girls have been seriously injured after being struck by a vehicle driven by a 17-year-old girl.
RCMP in Richmond, B.C., say one of the pedestrians sustained "critical" injuries, while the other had a "serious" injury, and both were taken to hospital after the crash on Thursday.
The Mounties say the girls were not on the roadway at the time of the crash.
