The BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) told Global News that one person was taken to hospital in non-life-threatening condition but it couldn’t say precisely how that individual was doing.
BCAS said it was called to the scene at 2:50 p.m.; two ambulances arrived.
The Coast Guard confirmed that patrons of the popular Pajo’s fish and chips restaurant in Steveston were stranded on the dock where the eatery is located after social media users tweeted out photos appearing to show the walkway partially split and resting at a sharp angle.
