Three people were taken to hospital, including a pedestrian with several serious injuries, after a multi-vehicle crash Tuesday afternoon in Burnaby, B.C.
Investigators are seeking witnesses and dashcam video of the collision, which was reported at 12:20 p.m. near the intersection of Lougheed Highway and Brighton Avenue.
A statement from the Burnaby RCMP says two vehicles were involved in the primary collision.
“One vehicle was travelling eastbound on Lougheed Highway when another vehicle travelling westbound began making a southbound turn onto Brighton Avenue,” the statement said. “One of these vehicles struck a pedestrian and ran into a commercial vehicle.”
Another vehicle was struck by one of the primary vehicles and sustained minor damage, police said.
The pedestrian was taken to hospital with “several serious injuries,” according to police. Two drivers were also hospitalized – one with broken bones and the other as a precaution, police added.
Mounties are still investigating the crash. Impairment is not believed to have contributed to the collision, according to the statement.
“We have spoken to several witnesses, but we believe there may be more,” Cpl. Mike Kalanj said in the statement.
“If you witnessed this incident or have video of the incident or the events leading up to the incident, please contact our investigators” at 604-646-9999, he added.
