4 people in hospital after serious East Vancouver crash
Four people are in hospital—two in critical condition—after a serious motor vehicle incident in East Vancouver Saturday morning.
BC Emergency Health Services said it got the call at 10:30 a.m. and sent five ambulances to the scene at Victoria Drive and East Hastings Street.
One of the patients in critical condition is suffering from life-threatening injuries, BCEHS said.
A motorcyclist named Anthony, who declined to share his last name, told CTV News he rode up to the scene shortly after the collision occurred.
He said it appeared as though a motorcycle travelling east on Hastings Street struck a white Tesla that was turning left onto Victoria Drive.
He called it an "ugly" scene, with significant damage to both the Tesla and the motorcycle. A blood stain could be seen on Hastings Street where one of the people on the motorcycle had landed after being thrown from the bike, he said.
The Vancouver Police Department confirmed it is investigating the cause of the crash. A spokesperson told CTV News there were two people on the motorcycle—a man and a woman—and they were the two that were seriously injured.
The intersection was closed for several hours and TransLink rerouted its Hastings Street buses via Powell Street as a result.
The detours ended around 1:30 p.m. according to the transit provider's Twitter account.
CTV News has reached out to Vancouver police and fire departments for more information.
