Two people are in hospital with serious injuries as the indirect result of a two-vehicle collision in Surrey Saturday night.
At about 6:30 pm, at the intersection of Fraser Highway & 148th Street, two vehicles – an Acura and a Ford – collided, sending one car careening off and striking two pedestrians waiting to cross the street.
The vehicle came to rest pinning both pedestrians – a man and a woman, both age 50 – beneath it and against a light post. Firefighters were able to free them quickly by winching up the vehicle.
