A 31-year-old woman is facing impaired driving charges after her SUV rear-ended another vehicle on the Burnaby-Vancouver border early Saturday morning and then burst into flames.
Emergency crews got the call just before 3 a.m., according to Burnaby RCMP.
A white GMC SUV traveling northbound on Boundary Road looked to have rear-ended a black Honda SUV at the intersection of Henning Drive, police said.
By the time officers arrived, firefighters had extinguished the burning GMC, according to the RCMP.
The driver of the burnt-out vehicle was located nearby, police said, and officers suspected she was impaired.
