One person is dead and another is in hospital with serious injuries following a single vehicle crash in east Ladner Wednesday. Both victims are from Richmond.
Delta police spokesperson Sharlene Brooks said the crash occurred just after 9:30 a.m in the 9600-block of Highway 10.
Following an initial investigation, police believe the vehicle was travelling westbound on Highway 10 when it veered left and went off the road into the ditch.
The driver, a 33-year-old Richmond man, sustained fatal injuries in the crash while the passenger, a 22-year-old woman, also from Richmond, had to be airlifted to hospital with serious life-threatening injuries.
Highway 10 was closed for several hours between 96 and 104 streets while officers investigated the crash. The incident is still under investigation and Brooks said she could not comment on a possible cause.
Witnesses are urged to call 604-946-4411.
