Ridge Meadows RCMP are looking for witnesses to a crash that sent a Maple Ridge teen to hospital with “serious” injuries on Friday, Feb. 5.
The 18-year-old woman was still in hospital on Monday following the accident along the 245oo block of 112 Avenue in Albion when she became trapped inside a grey, four-door Acura after it rolled down a “steep embankment” and into a creek.
She was the lone occupant of the vehicle.
