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.

Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre faced the critical glare of the mega-popular Radio-Canada talk show Tout le monde en parle on Sunday in an attempt to woo francophone viewers, with the Liberal leader being pressed on his cultural awareness of the province and his Conservative rival differentiating himself against perceptions in Quebec he is a "mini-Trump."
