| Serious Crash in Maple Ridge
 Quote: https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/0...highway-crash/
A serious crash around 240 Street in Maple Ridge has Lougheed Highway closed to eastbound traffic Friday morning.
The Ridge Meadows RCMP confirmed that the highway is closed in between 287 Street and Haney Bypass. Two westbound lanes are moving except for a brief reduction around 240 Street.
240 Street is also closed in between River Road and Hill Avenue.
Images from the scene show a badly damaged vehicle up against a traffic light pole.
Mounties say the investigation is still in its early stages and may last well into the morning commute.
Drivers can take Dewdney Trunk Road or Highway 1 to avoid the closures.
| It's wrapped around the pole in a crazy way! Any guesses on what vehicle that is?

Like a 2006 or 2007 civic. Whoever thinks Honda's were slow was just proven wrong.

I thought the poles were engineered to break away.

Damn. I remember a crash on Cambie and 41st. Single car, speeding. Guy lost control and hit a tree. Car was basically a debris field from 42nd to 48th. Engine block stopped at 45th or 46th.

I think the accident I'm thinking about was closer to Cambie and Marine Drive but 99% sure the car partially welded to the pole from the speed of impact.

Lol the article says the car was "badly damaged". That's an understatement!

I thought those poles are engineered to break away at a certain level of impact? Or these massive 3 traffic light spanning 4 lanes ones don't?

Thinking back, it may have been Cambie and 51st and downslope to 56-57th.

Vancouver police are investigating a serious collision between two vehicles, which resulted in the death of one man.
Police say a vehicle with three people on board was travelling southbound on Cambie Street just after 11 p.m. PT on Saturday when it collided with a vehicle at West 57th Avenue.
The car continued southbound for tens of metres before crashing into a utility pole.
Firefighters removed the three people from the vehicle, and B.C. Ambulance Service rushed them to hospital.
The driver, a man in his 20s, died in hospital while the two passengers remain in care with serious injuries.
The people in the second vehicle were not seriously injured.
