Surrey RCMP will pursue impaired driving charges against the female driver of a car that crashed and became wedged underneath a semi truck trailer, Tuesday night. RCMP say four young adults were taken to hospital. The crash happened around 11:40 p.m. PT, according to Surrey RCMP. Two cars were reportedly racing westbound on 16 Avenue, when they allegedly ran a red light. One car narrowly avoided the front of a semi truck driving southbound on 176 Street, and the other appeared to veer right, slamming into the truck's trailer. Surrey RCMP said three occupants were able to crawl out of the car's rear window, but Surrey firefighters had to use the jaws of life to get a fourth person out. The car that avoided the front of the truck sped away, and hasn't been located, police said. Surrey RCMP Staff Sgt. Blair McColl said alcohol was found inside the car. A large section of 176 Street from 12 Avenue to 20 Avenue was closed for several hours, while police investigated the crash, forcing the heavy truck traffic to find detours. The B.C. Ambulance Service released the condition of three of the patients taken to hospital, saying one had critical injuries, another had serious injuries and a third person is in stable condition.

Looking at the crash picture, the four occupants of that Accord are lucky they all didn't get decapitated.

that is an accord right? i don't know why but radio news reports keep saying the wrecked car is a prelude.

street racing in a 4 door accord with a full load of passengers...

that's some kind of luck if they all survive.

of course the news says its a prelude who races an accord. im surprised they didnt say it was a souped up civic lol

don't forget the driver was drunk as well... :(

• Drunk driver
• Chick driver
• Running a red light

Yet they still call it street racing.

FailFish

Fucking Surrey. What a shithole

The article says there were two cars, one of which took off and was not found.

2 cars going at high speed on the street is literally the definition of street racing.

Shitty deal. Drunk driving, street racing and crashing! That's the trifecta of bad decision making.

Yeah cause no one ever drives like a prick in any other city :rolleyes:

:pokerface:

Never seen someone race a fucking stock accord with 4 passengers..

I have but it usually involves 4 highschool kids borrowing their parents car

no kidding, if it was north of the fraser it would be some chinese kid with his N in a lambo or AMG. in surrey the highschoolers can only afford an accord... such a ghetto city

I pulled in front of a C Lai today who was trying to jump the line. There were 2 cars, attempting to get to the same place before the other. That is the law's definition of street racing.

But is it racing?
I always thought this was racing. You know, while I was doing it.....

The pic I just posted? Yeah, that's a street race. That's what the law was put in place to curb, but the way it was written we're all street racers at some point in time.

What happened last night was the result of some stupid drunk chick speeding around with friends in the car. It's a DUI incident, first and foremost. I bet the bitch would have crashed regardless.

Per the MVA definitions

If they were speeding at the same time but not trying to outdistance/beat each other it's not street racing.

I think the point is being missed here - I was just commenting on the fact that someone had ignored a part of the article.

Also, the MVA definition is rather subjective - if a PO pulls over 2 vehicles for "racing", but they deny that the were attempting to outdistance each other, weren't trying to prevent the other car from passing, and were driving at excessive speed but not necessarily to arrive at the same point faster, is that still racing?

You people missed the glory days of street racing... it was amazing. :)

I'll never forget watching that Syclone at Hammersmith take on that red NSX, that Honda used to just scream down the road and send chills up my spine... such good memories!

Fuck yes. How about Russ's white Vette? That thing was the loudest car at the races. I remember him and Dal (before he went strictly track) having some of the best races.

Damn glory days.....

Berz out.

Drunk street racing..... :sweetjesus:

So did you. It was long before you and I were born. Hah.

is there any truth to the story about that red nsx playing chicken with a police car at iona at night with lights turned off after everyone was trying to make a run for it after the cops showed up?

I still street race, just with Scooters. Can't ticket something that doesn't even pass the speed limit. Plus everyone smiles and goes on with their day.

Watch a Mustang street race and people will think poorly of that person.

Who races an accord?? those slow cars aren't good for anything but to get you to and from work
