A Kia Soul and a Jeep Liberty collided at the intersection of Blue Mountain Street and Smith Avenue this morning in an incident that sent two people to hospital and left one pet dog dead.
After colliding with the Jeep, the Kia continued on, careening onto a sidewalk and striking a pedestrian.
When Coquitlam Fire and Rescue arrived on scene, they found the pedestrian suffering a head injury, conscious and breathing.
The pedestrian and the driver of the Kia were both taken to hospital in stable condition.
One of the two dogs in the Kia, however, was crushed in the accident.
“CPR was performed,” said Coquitlam firefighter Sean Davidson. “But the pet, unfortunately, succumbed.”
