British Columbia\u2019s police watchdog, the Independent Investigations Office (IIO), has been notified following a crash involving a Surrey Police Service (SPS) vehicle and a civilian vehicle that resulted in a pedestrian being seriously injured.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to SPS, a collision occurred early Monday morning between an SPS vehicle and a black Chevrolet Avalanche pickup truck near the intersection of 96 Avenue and King George Boulevard.<\/p>\n

Police say the driver of the pickup failed to stop for officers. A short time later, the pickup was involved in a separate crash with a concrete SkyTrain guideway support on King George Boulevard near Holland Commons, leaving the driver injured.<\/p>\n

At approximately 3 a.m., a pedestrian was struck as a result of the collision involving the SPS vehicle and the pickup truck. The pedestrian was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The driver of the pickup truck was also transported to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n

Surrey Police Service (SPS) officers, Surrey Fire Service crews and BC Emergency Health Services paramedics responded to the scene.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

SPS says they notified the IIO shortly after the incident. The watchdog agency has now assumed conduct of the investigation.<\/p>\n

The IIO is responsible for investigating all officer-related incidents in British Columbia that result in serious harm or death, whether or not there is any allegation of wrongdoing by police.<\/p>\n
