Police are updating the public that a third person has died following a collision in South Surrey early Sunday morning.

On June 25, 2023, at approximately 2:45 am, Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a two-vehicle collision in the 3300-block of 176 Street (media release 2023-06-25).

On Monday afternoon, the third occupant of the Hyundai, who was previously in critical condition succumbed to their injuries.

The driver of the Volkswagen was initially detained for an impaired driving investigation, and has since been served documents prohibiting him from driving and released pending further investigation.

Police will be looking at all the circumstances of this collision; at this time speed and alcohol are believed to be contributing factors in this collision.

The Surrey RCMP Criminal Collision Investigation Team is actively working to gather crucial evidence and piece together what led to this tragic collision that has now claimed three lives, says Surrey RCMP Media Relations Officer, Corporal Vanessa Munn. Investigations of this nature are complex and can take time to complete, but our officers are committed to conducting a thorough investigation and providing the families who lost loved ones with answers about what transpired.
