Authorities are investigating a crash in downtown Vancouver that left an RCMP officer seriously injured Monday. The “E” Division officer was riding a motorcycle that collided with a black Subaru at the intersection of Davie and Burrard streets around noon, the Vancouver Police Department said. No other details have been confirmed, including what might have caused the crash. “Since the incident happened in Vancouver, VPD has jurisdiction,” Const. Megan Lui told CTV News in a statement. “The VPD Collision Investigation Unit will determine the circumstances surrounding the crash.” The B.C. RCMP said it couldn’t comment on the incident, except to confirm the officer suffered serious injuries. Cpl. Brett Urano said the officer “is being supported in their recovery.” B.C. Emergency Health Services said a second patient was assessed at the scene, but did not need to be taken to hospital.
