A 17-year-old girl has been hospitalized with what RCMP are calling “life-altering” injuries, after a single-vehicle crash in Surrey early Friday morning.
A luxury SUV veered off the roadway and hit a power pole just after 1 a.m., near the 6300-block of 128 Street in the Newton neighborhood.
Police say the 20-year-old man behind the wheel has been discharged from hospital.
