On March 23 at approximately 12:08 p.m., Surrey RCMP responded to the report of a single-vehicle collision in the 13100-block of 72 avenue.

ON Tuesday at approximately 6:17 a.m., Surrey RCMP were called to a single-vehicle collision at the intersection of 148 Street and 64 Avenue. A commercial vehicle appeared to have struck a Hydro pole carrying active power lines.

Police closed 64 Avenue from 152 Street to 146 Street and advised motorists to avoid the area and find a different route for their morning commute as the collision had caused severe traffic disruption.

ON Sunday at approximately 2:06 p.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a single-vehicle collision on 60 Avenue, east of 150 Street. The vehicle struck numerous parked cars before striking a utility pole, downing the pole and wires.
