SURREY - Seven people were injured in a four-vehicle crash involving a stolen pickup truck early Sunday morning.
Around 12:15 a.m. on Sunday, a black 2005 Ford F350 pick-up was driving northbound in the 9800-block of Scott
Road when it lost control. Police say it was trying to pass a Nissan Altima but struck the car, went onto the median, crossed over it and hit a Toyota pick-up truck and a Dodge Caravan, both of which were heading southbound.
The driver of the truck, which was reported stolen just hours earlier in Surrey, ran away after the crash.
The three other vehicles were all seriously damaged. The lone driver of the Toyota Tacoma, the three occupants in the Dodge Caravan, and the three occupants of the Nissan Altima sustained minor injuries and did not go to hospital.
Speed appears to have been a contributing factor, police said. RCMP are still looking for the driver of the stolen truck.
Anyone who may have witnessed the accident and/or the driver of the pick-up truck running away from the scene is asked to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or to call Crime Stoppers.
