BURNABY – Police in Burnaby, B.C., say two children have been hospitalized with serious injuries after a crash on Saturday.
A statement from Burnaby RCMP describes the 11-year-old boy and nine-year-old girl as pedestrians, while BC Emergency Health Services says they received a call about a crash involving an E-scooter.
The agency says it got the call at 12:44 p.m., dispatching four ambulances, and two patients were taken to hospital, one in critical condition, the other in serious condition.
The Mounties say the driver of the vehicle involved in the crash, a grey Mercedes sedan, remained at the scene along Hastings Street, just east of Delta Avenue.
Footage of the scene broadcast on Global News shows the Mercedes with a shattered front wind shield, a scooter lying on the street and two helmets nearby.
The Burnaby RCMP criminal collision investigation team has taken control of the probe, but Cpl. Mike Kalanj says police need the public’s help as they investigate the crash.
RCMP are asking anyone with video footage captured along Hastings Street and surrounding roads east of Springer Avenue between 12:30 and 12:45 p.m. Saturday to contact them, along with any witnesses who have yet to speak with police.
“We are doing everything we can to support the families and loved ones of these children, but we need the public’s assistance here,” Kalanj says in the statement.
