Police in Maple Ridge are looking for witnesses to a single vehicle collision that resulted in serious injuries on Saturday night.
On Jan. 13, at approximately 11:45 p.m., Ridge Meadows RCMP were notified by anti-gang Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) members on patrol of a motor vehicle incident at the 22600 block of Dewdney Trunk Road in Maple Ridge. Officers found a Honda Civic had collided with a utility pole.
Police determined the vehicle was traveling eastbound before going off the road and crashing into the pole.
The driver sustained minor injuries while the passenger’s injuries were more severe. Both were transported to hospital by BC Emergency Health Services (BC EHS). Impairment is believed to be a contributing factor at this time, said police.
