Surrey RCMP will pursue impaired driving charges against the female driver of a car that crashed and became wedged underneath a semi truck trailer, Tuesday night. RCMP say four young adults were taken to hospital.

The crash happened around 11:40 p.m. PT, according to Surrey RCMP. Two cars were reportedly racing westbound on 16 Avenue, when they allegedly ran a red light. One car narrowly avoided the front of a semi truck driving southbound on 176 Street, and the other appeared to veer right, slamming into the truck's trailer.

Surrey RCMP said three occupants were able to crawl out of the car's rear window, but Surrey firefighters had to use the jaws of life to get a fourth person out.

The car that avoided the front of the truck sped away, and hasn't been located, police said.

Surrey RCMP Staff Sgt. Blair McColl said alcohol was found inside the car.

A large section of 176 Street from 12 Avenue to 20 Avenue was closed for several hours, while police investigated the crash, forcing the heavy truck traffic to find detours.

The B.C. Ambulance Service released the condition of three of the patients taken to hospital, saying one had critical injuries, another had serious injuries and a third person is in stable condition.

Looking at the crash picture, the four occupants of that Accord are lucky they all didn't get decapitated.

The article says there were two cars, one of which took off and was not found.

2 cars going at high speed on the street is literally the definition of street racing.

[white rocket]

Shitty deal. Drunk driving, street racing and crashing! That's the trifecta of bad decision making.

[MarkyMark]

Fucking Surrey. What a shithole

Yeah cause no one ever drives like a prick in any other city :rolleyes:

I pulled in front of a C Lai today who was trying to jump the line. There were 2 cars, attempting to get to the same place before the other. That is the law's definition of street racing.

But is it racing?
I always thought this was racing. You know, while I was doing it.....

The pic I just posted? Yeah, that's a street race. That's what the law was put in place to curb, but the way it was written we're all street racers at some point in time.

What happened last night was the result of some stupid drunk chick speeding around with friends in the car. It's a DUI incident, first and foremost. I bet the bitch would have crashed regardless.

Per the MVA definitions

"race" means circumstances in which, taking into account the condition of the highway, traffic, visibility and weather, the driver or operator of a motor vehicle is driving or operating the motor vehicle without reasonable consideration for other persons using the highway or in a manner that may cause harm to an individual by doing any of the following:

(a) outdistancing or attempting to outdistance one or more other motor vehicles;

(b) preventing or attempting to prevent one or more other motor vehicles from passing;

(c) driving at excessive speed in order to arrive at or attempt to arrive at a given destination ahead of one or more other motor vehicles;

If they were speeding at the same time but not trying to outdistance/beat each other it's not street racing.

[inv4zn]

I think the point is being missed here - I was just commenting on the fact that someone had ignored a part of the article.

Also, the MVA definition is rather subjective - if a PO pulls over 2 vehicles for "racing", but they deny that the were attempting to outdistance each other, weren't trying to prevent the other car from passing, and were driving at excessive speed but not necessarily to arrive at the same point faster, is that still racing?

You people missed the glory days of street racing... it was amazing. :)

[multicartual]

I'll never forget watching that Syclone at Hammersmith take on that red NSX, that Honda used to just scream down the road and send chills up my spine... such good memories!

[Berzerker]

Fuck yes. How about Russ's white Vette? That thing was the loudest car at the races. I remember him and Dal (before he went strictly track) having some of the best races.

Damn glory days.....

Berz out.

[B13Shiro]

Drunk street racing..... :sweetjesus:

So did you. It was long before you and I were born. Hah.

[thumper]

is there any truth to the story about that red nsx playing chicken with a police car at iona at night with lights turned off after everyone was trying to make a run for it after the cops showed up?

[Dragon-88]

I still street race, just with Scooters. Can't ticket something that doesn't even pass the speed limit. Plus everyone smiles and goes on with their day.

Watch a Mustang street race and people will think poorly of that person.

Could be, that guy was crazy. I heard that rumor too. One time some brown guys chased us in a Stealth TT from Iona all the way to 25th and Cambie, we were doing insane speeds... dumb ass 16 year olds!!!


Does anyone remember the wood planks and other curb-hopping that people did to get away from the police?


I saw a fox Mustang jump the curb and smash its oil pan once... but the guy kept driving hahaha

The other alleged vehicle is a Toyota Camry.

RCMP say vehicle driven by 16-year-old girl pinned under semi during apparent street race in Surrey (http://www.vancouversun.com/news/RCMP+vehicle+pinned+under+semi+during+apparent+str eet+race/11086375/story.html)

METRO VANCOUVER - Four teens were taken to hospital Tuesday night after a car crash during a suspected street race, according to police.

The driver of the Honda, a 16-year-old girl, is under investigation for impaired driving.

Surrey RCMP says witnesses claim two cars were racing each other westbound on 16th Ave. As the lights for north and southbound traffic on 176th Street turned green, a tractor trailer entered the intersection. The driver of the tractor trailer saw the cars approaching and stopped.

The first car, believed to be a brown Toyota Camry, narrowly missed the large truck and continued westbound, RCMP said. The second car, a grey Honda Accord, struck the tractor trailer broadside and became wedged under the trailer.

Police were called to the scene at 16th Avenue and 176th Street at about 11:40 p.m.

The driver, two 18-year-old boys and an 18-year-old girl were cut free from the vehicle by using the Jaws of Life.

They were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

"It's unbelievable that they survived," said RCMP spokesman Cpl. Scotty Schumann.

Schumann did not know whether the girl had the appropriate license to have three other teenagers in the car, but added it will be part of the investigation.
