The Pattullo Bridge between New Westminster and Surrey, B.C., remains closed Saturday morning after three people were killed and one person was left with life-threatening injuries in a crash Friday evening, according to police.
A news release from the Surrey Police Service (SPS) said the crash, which happened on the east end of the bridge around 10 p.m. on Friday, involved two cars and one semi-trailer truck.
It said first responders administered life-saving measures, but three people were declared deceased at the scene, and one further person was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
“At this early stage, the extent of that person’s injuries are unknown, but they are expected to survive,” said Lindsey Houghton, staff sergeant with the SPS.
Houghton said those four people, who he described as young adult males, were passengers in one of the cars involved.
Houghton said there were no injuries from the other car, and the driver of the semi-trailer truck was also unhurt and remained on scene.
The bridge remains closed in both directions as the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service (ICARS) and the RCMP Criminal Collision Investigation Team (CCIT) investigate.
“It’s still too early to tell what the cause was, it’s a very complex investigation,” said Houghton.
Houghton said the bridge may re-open later in the morning.
Police are asking witnesses or anyone who may have dashcam footage to call the SPS at 604-599-0502 and quote file 2025-12779.
