2 UBC students dead after vehicle veers onto campus sidewalk

2 UBC students dead after vehicle veers onto campus sidewalk

CBC
Sunday, September 26, 2021 9:40 PM GMT

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.
