Police continue to investigate a four-car crash that shut down a portion of McBride Boulevard last week.
The collision happened shortly after midnight on May 18 when a vehicle headed south on McBride Boulevard crossed over the centre line and crashed into an oncoming vehicle. Two other cars were also hit by the colliding southbound and northbound vehicles, noted acting Sgt. Jeff Scott, spokesperson for the New Westminster Police Department.
One person suffered serious, but not life-threatening, injuries while the three other drivers involved were taken to hospital with minor injuries. McBride Boulevard was closed for several hours as police collected evidence at the scene.
It’s still unclear what caused the driver to cross the centre line or whether drugs and/or alcohol were factors. Officers with the department’s collision reconstruction team are investigating.
