Police in Delta, B.C. Confirmed two people were killed and two others injured in a crash at the Tsawwassen Mills mall. The incident occurred when a vehicle struck four pedestrians, with early reports suggesting the driver may have experienced a medical emergency.
The victims included two elders from the Tsawwassen First Nation, a community located in Delta. Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed condolences, calling the elders "beloved" members of the community. The crash appears to have been caused by a sudden medical issue affecting the driver, though no official confirmation has been released.
This is not the first time the Tsawwassen First Nation has faced tragic losses. In 2021, a similar incident at the same mall resulted in the death of a local resident. The community has since called for improved safety measures and greater awareness of medical emergencies on the road.
Authorities are currently investigating the incident and have not yet released further details about the driver’s condition or the exact circumstances of the crash. The mall has been closed for the day as a precaution.
