A 30-year-old Burnaby man was killed after losing control of his car and driving into a retaining wall on Arbutus Street early this morning.
His passenger, a 32-year-old man from Langley, was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Vancouver police say speed is believed to be a factor in the collision which took place just before 3 a.m. near West 33rd Avenue.
The man was driving a newer-model, white Nissan Versa “Modo” shared car.
It is Vancouver’s eighth traffic fatality of 2018.
The VPD’s Collision Investigation Unit, which closed Arbutus Street from West 32nd Avenue to Quilchena Crescent in both directions, anticipates re-opening the road soon.
