A young Coquitlam woman has died after a collision in Richmond on the weekend.
The crash happened at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday at Westminster Highway and No. 4 Road when an eastbound Honda Civic collided with a westbound Audi R8.
The force of the collision caused immense structural damage to both vehicles and caused the Honda to then hit a Toyota Venza that was stopped on No. 4 Road. The Toyota sustained relatively minor damage.
Richmond Fire Rescue Service was called in to extricate the 23-year-old Coquitlam woman, who was trapped in the Honda; she was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver and another passenger in the Honda were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries and have since been released. The drivers of the Audi and Toyota were uninjured.
Richmond RCMP's Road Safety Unit is investigating the collision with help from the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service, as well as the BC Coroner's Service.
Richmond RCMP Cpl. Dennis Hwang said the investigation is in its early stages but "speed is definitely a factor."
Anyone with information about the crash is asked to contact Const. Jenkins at 604-278-1212 or [email protected], or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca.
