Vancouver police say speed is believed to be a factor in the city's eighth traffic fatality of 2018.

A 30-year-old Burnaby man died and his 32-year-old male passenger from Langley was taken to hospital with minor injuries after the crash of their co-op vehicle early Friday morning.

Sgt. Jason Robillard says in a news release that the Nissan Versa was travelling along a curving section of a road on Vancouver's west side.

Police say the driver lost control and slammed into a retaining wall.

The crash closed the road for hours.

The driver's name has not been released.
