B.C. police watchdog called to investigate serious collision involving stolen vehicle

AGASSIZ, B.C. — British Columbia’s police watchdog has been called to investigate after a serious vehicle collision in Agassiz on Saturday afternoon involving a stolen car left four people seriously injured.

A statement from the RCMP says the Upper Fraser Valley Regional District Detachment received reports of a stolen vehicle being driven dangerously.

Mounties say officers tried to stop the vehicle, but that it collided with a civilian car.

They say the driver of the civilian car was taken to a local hospital with injuries that were not life threatening, while his passenger was airlifted to another hospital with serious injuries.
