Police officers are investigating after an early morning collision in B.C. left one person dead.
A dump truck and SUV collided at 6:36 a.m. on Thursday near the 12200-block of 80 Avenue in Surrey's Newton neighbourhood.
Const. Parmbir Kahlon says one person was declared deceased at the scene.
Police are not releasing any details about the individuals at this time. It is also unclear what led to the collision or if the other people in the crash are injured.
"The investigation is in the early stages and investigators are working to identify all factors that led to this fatality,” says Kahlon.
Investigators need to process the scene, which will cause delays for drivers as 80 Avenue is expected to be closed to westbound traffic from 124 Street to 120A Street.
Anyone who has dash camera footage in the area at the time of the collision is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 and quote file number 2023-207460.
