The Richmond RCMP Criminal Collision Investigation Team are investigating after an 87-year old woman was seriously injured on Saturday afternoon.

On July 5, 2025, at 3:46 p.m., the Richmond RCMP received a report of a pedestrian-involved collision on No. 3 Road at Granville Avenue. A northbound SUV reportedly struck a pedestrian before swerving into a lamp post on the median just north of the intersection. The pedestrian was taken to hospital with serious, life-threatening injuries. The driver suffered minor physical injuries related to the crash.

The driver remained on scene and has been cooperating with the investigation. The causal factors have not yet been determined.

“The Criminal Collision Investigation Team has taken conduct of the file and will seek to determine both the cause of the crash as well as whether criminality was a factor,” said Staff Sergeant Kris Clark of the BC RCMP. “Any witnesses, or anyone with in-car video, who has yet to speak with investigators is urged to contact police immediately.”

Anyone who witnessed the crash, or has dash-cam video of the incident, is asked to contact the Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 and quote file number 2025-21350.

Seniors advocate says B.C. will need almost 16,000 new long-term care beds by 2036

A report from British Columbia's seniors' advocate say the province will need almost 16,000 new long-term care beds by 2036 to meet the demands of an aging society. Dan Levitt's report tabled at the provincial legislature pegs the current shortfall at over 2,000 beds, and predicts the gap will "grow exponentially" over the next decade. It says the number of people waiting for beds has grown significantly in the past 10 years to 7, 212 in 2025, and people are also waiting longer. The average wait time for a long-term care bed had almost doubled to 290 days by 2024, according to the report, whic
