Police investigating after vehicle crashes into Cirque du Soleil arena in Vancouver

VANCOUVER — Vancouver police say it’s a “miracle” no one was injured after a vehicle crashed into the Pacific Coliseum arena on Thursday evening.

Police say a vehicle drove into the front entrance of the building around 8 p.m. while a Cirque du Soleil show was taking place.

They say a 30-year-old Vancouver man has been arrested under the Mental Health Act and the crash does not appear to be an act of terrorism.

In a post to social media platform X, Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim says he’s grateful that no one was hurt.
