UPDATE: Surrey RCMP investigating third suspected drug-impaired driving incident in a week

Traffic along Highway 10 in Newton was diverted Friday evening (Jan. 29) after a serious crash.

Around 4:25 p.m., police responded to a two-vehicle collision near 152nd Street and Highway 10, according to a release from Surrey RCMP.

Police said initial indications are that it was a head-on collision, “with potentially serious injuries.”

Initially, traffic was moving eastbound, southbound and northbound, but police ended up diverting traffic in all directions. Drivers were asked to avoid the area.

DriveBC tweeted the scene was cleared at 9:43 p.m.

While the investigation is in its early stages, Surrey RCMP said police are looking for witnesses who saw the crash to contact the Surrey RCMP. Investigators are also looking for any available dash-cam video.

Anyone with more information about this incident, who has not yet spoken to police, is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or Crime Stoppers if you wish to remain anonymous at 1-800-222-TIPS or solvecrime.ca.
