Upon attendance, the police located an unconscious male still in the vehicle, and a female who had been ejected from the vehicle. Both the driver and passenger were transported to hospital where the female later died of her injuries.

Circumstances surrounding the collision are suspicious, as such, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has been called and will be working in partnership with the Burnaby RCMP.
