An RCMP officer was taken to hospital with serious injuries Wednesday after an unmarked police SUV collided with another vehicle and crashed into a building.
Burnaby RCMP confirmed with CTV News Vancouver its officers received reports of a domestic dispute near Boundary Road and Hastings Street at about 4:30 p.m.
