Video shows shocking footage of fatal crash on Pattullo Bridge
Dashcam video from the semi-truck at the scene of the fatal crash on the Pattullo Bridge on Friday night shows moments leading up to the incident, which killed three people and left one seriously injured.
The video, which was posted on the Skilled Truckers Canada Facebook page, shows the truck driving over the bridge in the southbound lane. A white vehicle in the northbound lane can be seen suddenly speeding towards the truck and crossing the bridge’s median barrier before spinning and slamming into the semi. The truck swerves into the oncoming lane, as another car approaches, before hitting the bridge’s guard rail.
Daily Hive contacted the Surrey Police Service (SPS) for comment about the video.
SPS media relations officer Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton said in an email that investigators are aware of two different videos that have been posted online and shared with the media.
Houghton confirmed that these videos are considered evidence, but SPS couldn’t speak to their contents.

According to a previous news release from SPS, the incident occurred at about 10 pm on Friday, February 14, when emergency responders were advised of a collision involving three vehicles — one semi-trailer truck and two passenger vehicles.
Surrey Fire Service and paramedics administered lifesaving measures to three occupants of the vehicles, but they were declared deceased at the scene.
One other occupant in a passenger vehicle was transported to hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries. The driver of the semi-trailer truck was unhurt and remained at the scene.
The bridge was closed overnight as rescue crews and officials attended the scene.
In SPS’ updated statement to Daily Hive on Tuesday, Houghton said the last update SPS had on the surviving passenger was that they were still in hospital.
“We don’t know how long they’ll be there for, but their initial injuries were considered life-threatening, so it’s likely they will require medical follow-up for a while,” he stated.
Houghton added that SPS is still at the early stages of the investigation, and “all potential factors are being considered both individually and in combination with each other,” including speed, alcohol, and weather conditions.
“It may take some time before investigators are able to conclude what the cause(s) was/were,” noted Houghton.
