Crackdown on street racing in Surrey

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 05 Jul, 2023 09:47 AM
  • Crackdown on street racing in Surrey

Mounties in Surrey say a crackdown on street racing and stunt driving on a stretch of 192nd Street led to the impoundment of half a dozen vehicles last month. 

Surrey R-C-M-P say video shared widely online back in May showed a vintage Chevy stunt driving before crashing into a semi-truck during a large gathering. 

Police say they’ve now recommended charges against the driver, and returned to the street in mid-June to crack down on street racing along the stretch. 

Officers say they issued 21 violation tickets for speeding, excessive speeding, vehicle defects and other infractions, urging people to drive safely after 14 people have been killed in crashes in Surrey so far this year.
