A 20-year-old man is dead after the car he was driving crashed into a pump station at the foot of Gilbert Road on Monday night.
Richmond Mounties believe the accident happened around 8 p.m. at Gilbert and Dyke roads, just shy of the south arm of the Fraser River.
Early reports suggest that the man’s red car was driving south on Gilbert, but failed to stop at the intersection, before careening off to the left and hitting the brick pump station.
The impact of the crash made a large hole in the station wall, with most of the front of the car being crushed in the process.
Emergency crews performed CPR on the driver, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The victim’s identity has not been released and RCMP are investigating the cause of the crash, but so far have not released any details.
