B.C.’s civilian police watchdog was deployed to Surrey on Monday, following a collision that left a pedestrian with life-threatening injuries. <\/p>\n

The crash happened around 3 a.m. PT, near 96 Avenue and King George Boulevard.<\/p>\n

The Surrey Police Service (SPS) said a police vehicle was involved in a crash with a pickup truck “that subsequently resulted in a pedestrian being struck.”<\/p>\n

The driver of the other vehicle was also taken to hospital with serious injuries. <\/p>\n

In a news release, the Independent Investigations Office of B.C. (IIO) said SPS officers were attempting to stop the truck at the time. <\/p>\n

“A collision involving the pickup truck and a police vehicle subsequently occurred,” the IIO said. <\/p>\n

“The driver failed to stop. A short time later, the pickup truck was involved in a collision with a concrete SkyTrain barrier.”<\/p>\n

The IIO’s mandate is to investigate all police-involved incidents that result in serious harm or death, regardless of whether there is an allegation of wrongdoing. <\/p>\n

Anyone who witnessed the crash or who has video relevant to the investigation is asked to contact the IIO at\u00a01-855-446-8477<\/a>\u00a0or via the contact form on the\u00a0iiobc.ca<\/a>\u00a0website. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":887331,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,87674],"class_list":["post-887330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/887330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=887330"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/887330\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/887331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=887330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=887330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=887330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
