Four people were sent to hospital Sunday evening following a three-vehicle collision at the intersection of Highway 17 and 56th Street in Tsawwassen.

On Sunday night, just before 7:30 p.m., Delta Police along with paramedics and Delta firefighters and an air ambulance responded.

Police say the collision involved one vehicle striking a concrete median, rolling over, and striking a second car. A third vehicle was involved when the concrete barrier, displaced from the first impact, struck the third vehicle.

Four people were transferred to hospital; three of those four have been released from hospital, while one person remains in hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

The Delta Police Department’s collision analysts attended the scene to document evidence and reconstruct what had occurred. The intersection remained closed until approximately 5 a.m. Monday. The intersection is now fully open and usual traffic flow has resumed.

Investigators are seeking any video of driving behaviour prior to the collision. This includes vehicles driving on Highway 17, as well as on 56th Street. If you have CCTV or dash camera video, you can upload the video directly to the Delta digital evidence management portal.

If you are a witness to this collision or pre-collision driving behaviour, please contact Delta Police at 604-946-4411 and quote TIP file 2023-20569.
