Police are updating the public in regards to a motor vehicle collision in the South Surrey area that has left two people dead and one other in critical condition.
On June 25 at approximately 2:45 am, Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a two-vehicle collision in the 3300 block of 176 Street. A Volkswagen Golf with a single occupant was northbound on 176 Street past 32 Avenue, when it collided with a Hyundai sedan with a driver and three passengers, that was also northbound. Both vehicles were knocked from the roadway into a water-filled ditch on the east side of the roadway.
Despite immediate life-saving efforts from numerous first responders on scene, two people from the Hyundai have died of their injuries and one other is in critical condition. The fourth occupant of the Hyundai suffered non-life threatening injuries.
