Residents raise questions on speeding after crash in Surrey

Two vehicles crashed in the area of 124th Street and 75th Avenue in Surrey at around 9 a.m. this morning. The crash involved a black Tesla SUV and a brown minivan. The crash was so severe that both vehicles were badly damaged and a tow truck had to be removed from the scene.

The Connect FM team arrived at the scene at around 11am and by then the drivers had been evacuated, but the vehicles were still being removed and two Surrey Police vehicles and officers were on the scene.

Anju, a resident of the house near which the two vehicles collided, said the vehicles came to a stop in her driveway and the injuries to the person in the minivan appeared to be serious.

Anju said that the family also helped the victims first and soon police vehicles, ambulances and fire trucks reached the spot. Traffic in the area resumed normally soon after the crash.

Anju said that speeding is a common topic of discussion among the neighbors and local people and she appealed to Surrey residents not to drive at high speeds in residential areas and, in particular, to wait at a yellow light at a traffic signal rather than racing to get past.
