Three pedestrians were rushed to hospital Saturday night – one of them in critical condition – after being struck by a car in Surrey.
Around 6:45 p.m., RCMP responded to a car crash in the intersection of 138th Street and 72nd Avenue.
Two cars had smashed into each other, then one of the vehicles struck a group of people standing on the corner of the intersection.
One person became pinned under the car, and was eventually freed by emergency crews.
Police say a woman suffered life-threatening injuries and is in critical condition.
A man with serious head and facial injuries as well as a second woman with non-life threatening injuries were also taken to the hospital. Both are currently in stable condition.
The drivers of the cars involved in the crash remained on the scene. Mounties say alcohol and drugs do not appear to have been a factor in the collision.
Anyone who may have witnessed the accident is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.
