Tsawwassen First Nation: Two dead in fatal collision at Tsawwassen Mills
A serious vehicle collision in the parking lot of the Tsawwassen Mills shopping centre resulted in the deaths of two pedestrians and injuries to two others on Wednesday, September 30. The incident occurred on Tsawwassen First Nation lands in South Delta, British Columbia, shortly before 10:30 a.m.
Delta Police stated that preliminary information suggests the driver of the involved vehicle may have experienced a medical emergency prior to the crash. Authorities confirmed the collision was not an intentional attack and was unrelated to the National Truth and Reconciliation Day community walk being held by the Tsawwassen First Nation at the time.
