A 17-year-old North Vancouver boy has died following a car accident in the Gleneagles neighbourhood of West Vancouver Saturday morning.
A 19-year-old female, who was a passenger in the vehicle at the time, was taken to Lions Gate Hospital with unknown injuries, according to West Vancouver police.
Police say the crash occurred in the 6300 block of Marine Drive at around 4 a.m., when the driver of the 2002 BMW slid into a wood telephone pole.
West Vancouver police, along with the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service, are now investigating what caused the crash.
“It was wet, but it’s too early to know a definitive cause,” said Sgt.
Paul Faris of the West Vancouver Police Department. “It seems speed was a factor.”
Anyone who may have witnessed the crash, or has dash cam footage of the accident, is asked to call the West Vancouver police non-emergency line at 604-925-7300.
