While it’s still early in the investigation, a statement from RCMP says it doesn’t look like this is connected to the Lower Mainland gang conflict.
At this point, we have not heard if an arrest has been made. Daily Hive has contacted Surrey RCMP for more information.
Southbound lanes were shut down last night along King George at 100 Avenue, but are open again this morning.
#RiderAlert: R1 King George Blvd to Newton Exchange detour is cleared and the bus is back to regular route. Thank you for your patience. ^slp
