Passenger killed in serious downtown Vancouver crash
One person is dead after a serious crash that shut down a major intersection in downtown Vancouver.
A 28-year-old man was killed in the fiery collision at Burrard and Georgia just after 3 am, the Vancouver Police Department said in a news release.
A blue Honda accord was stopped at a red light when a white Plymouth voyager hit it from behind. The van caught fire, and the driver had to be extracted from the vehicle.
There were three people in the Honda, which was sitting still when it was hit. The driver and one passenger were seriously hurt, and the other passenger died of his injuries.
A serious crash has shut down an intersection in downtown Vancouver and police are urging drivers to find another route.
In an email to Daily Hive, the VPD says investigators will be on the scene for “most of the morning collecting evidence.”
