Darpan News Desk Vancouver Police, 05 May, 2022 09:54 AM

Vancouver – Vancouver Police are looking for witnesses and dash cam footage as an investigation continues into a serious collision last week.

“Three people were taken to hospital the night of this collision for non-life-threatening injuries,” says Constable Tania Visintin. “All three have since been released and are recovering at home.”

As the driver of a Toyota Matrix was making a left turn on East 57^th Avenue from Fraser Street, he was struck by the driver of a Honda CR-V that was travelling south on Fraser Street at around 9 p.m. on April 27.

Investigators believe speed was the main cause of this collision.

Anyone who witnessed this collision or anyone with dash cam footage from April 27 between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. is asked to call VPD’s Collision Investigation Unit at 604-717-3012.
