Fatal collision in South Surrey

On Sunday, Dec. 14, around 7:20 p.m., a Surrey Police Service car collided with a woman at 152 Street and 64 Avenue. Officers, Surrey Fire Service crews and BC Emergency Health Services paramedics provided medical aid at the scene. However, the woman died from her injuries at the roadside.

Police closed 152 Street between roughly 60 Avenue and 66A Avenue, and shut 64 Avenue near 152 Street for several hours while crash investigators documented the area and gathered evidence.

Independent probe launched

Because a police vehicle was involved, the case now falls under civilian oversight. The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. has taken jurisdiction and will examine the actions of the Surrey Police Service officers leading up to and during the collision.

The watchdog will look at whether any police conduct may have contributed to the woman’s death. Surrey Police say they have notified the agency and are cooperating with the investigation.

Call for witnesses and video

Investigators are appealing for help from the public as 1 woman dead after being struck by Surrey Police Service vehicle becomes the focus of a formal probe. Anyone who saw the crash but has not yet spoken with investigators is asked to come forward.

The IIO is also seeking dashcam or cellphone video recorded near 152 Street and 64 Avenue around 7:20 p.m. Sunday. Witnesses can reach the office toll‑free at 1‑855‑446‑8477 or through the contact form on the iiobc.ca website.

Impact on traffic and community

The collision added to an already tense evening for drivers in South Surrey. The road closures around 152 Street and 64 Avenue forced traffic onto side routes while police and collision analysts worked in poor winter visibility.

Residents in the area now await answers from the IIO report, which will determine whether any further steps, including possible charges or policy changes, are warranted after 1 woman dead after being struck by Surrey Police Service vehicle at the busy intersection.
