| Severe car crash tonight at Cambie&41....Horrific scene
There were 4+ cop cars and a firetruck, i also spotted a Transit Security vehicle on the scene...I havent seen a serious accident like this for years...Winter's coming, drive safe, guys...the media says one pedestrian remains in critical condition Quote:
A woman in her 20s in recovering in hospital after being struck by a vehicle involved in a two-car collision at Cambie Street and West 41st Avenue, Vancouver police said.
According to Const. Lindsey Houghton, around 7 p.m. Friday a vehicle travelling southbound on Cambie entered the intersection at 41st where it struck a vehicle travelling northbound that was turning left. The impact of the crash forced the southbound vehicle to careen into a poll on the southwest corner of the intersection where the pedestrian was waiting to cross.
The pedestrian, who has yet to be identified by police, remains in hospital in critical but stable condition with unknown injuries.
Const. Houghton added, two occupants of the southbound vehicle and the two occupants of the northbound vehicle suffered minor injures.
Police continue to investigate the cause of the crash while West 41 Avenue remains closed and vehicles are only allowed to travel north on Cambie as of 10 p.m. Closures could be lifted as soon as 11:30 p.m.
Anyone with information or who may have witnessed the crash is asked to contact the collision investigation unit at

Wow, that's dangerous. Even though it's ok for pedestrians to be standing at the middle section as shown above, it's still too risky. You're sandwiched between two ways of traffic.

The other night I was driving on a left-sweeping curve. Almost got KTFO by some moron who was traveling with half their car into my lane, HEAD ON. they were tailgating the SUV in front of them so it was pretty much a blind curve.
Swerved my tin can out of the way and looked in the mirror, what do I see? Big fat L on the back. And they still in the oncoming lane.
They really do give out licenses to anything with a pulse here....
Yeah I know my story is cool bros.

Hmm, seems like I just missed that accident as I was driving around that area before 7pm.
Yesterday a lot of people were driving stupidly. On 41st turning onto Oak, a blue Nissan Versa with tons of stuffed animals in the rear window was waiting to left turn and was the last car before the turn signal disappeared. Fucking moron gunned it anyways and almost got hit.
Then after I wait for the light so I can turn left I see some woman laying on the middle of the street getting up. WTF? This is at night, it is fucking dark. She was lucky no one made her go splat.

Hope the ped pulls thru.
Use this as a reminder to change out ur summer tires. It's starting to dip below 5C at night and summer tires are not performing as they should be. Throw in some rain and it can turn bad really quickly.

This probably would've been prevented if they kept the dedicated red light for left turners.
