Fatal crash on Granville Street Bridge

By

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – The Granville Street Bridge is closed to southbound traffic after a deadly crash early this morning.

It happened around 3:45 a.m.

“It involved two cars: a green Honda and a white Mercedes,” says Constable Brian Montague. “It appears the Mercedes rear-ended the Honda on the bridge.”

“Speed and alcohol are most likely going to be factors here,” adds Montague. The driver of the Honda was pronounced dead at the scene and the driver of the Mercedes is being detained by the Vancouver Police.”

He adds they think there was a witness to the crash.

“There are some skid marks over top of the debris. So it appears as though someone either witnessed the accident or came upon the accident very shortly after it happened and didn’t stick around to speak with police. We’d really like to speak with them to see if they can provide us with any additional information.”

The bridge was closed to southbound traffic for the entire morning.
