CBC
An overnight crash at the University of British Columbia has left two students dead after they were struck by a vehicle that veered onto the sidewalk.
University RCMP say they were called to a single vehicle collision on Northwest Marine Drive at about 1:45 a.m. Sunday.
In a statement, RCMP say the Vancouver Fire Department and Emergency Health Services were also called to the scene, where the two pedestrians were pronounced dead.
A preliminary analysis of the scene led police to determine that the driver of the vehicle veered off the side of the road and hit the two pedestrians — one an 18-year-old male, the other an 18-year-old female — who were on the sidewalk.
Both victims were students at UBC.
The driver of the vehicle, a 21-year-old male, was arrested at the scene and taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.
Police say he was later released and is expected to appear in court at a later date.
