Two similar crashes involving dump trucks happened in the same New Westminster Intersection in less than a week.
Fortunately, no one suffered any serious injuries, but the Holmes-Columbia intersection has a dangerous and deadly history.
In 2011, a dump truck smashed into a small car, killing the driver.
Police are reminding truck drivers to avoid Holmes Street, when possible.
“Holmes Street is not a truck route," said Sgt. Andrew Leaver with the New Westminster Police Department.
"Unless you have a very specific reason to be here, you will be ticketed.”
Leaver says police are increasing enforcement as a result of the two crashes.
