A two-vehicle crash sent one person to hospital and blocked traffic on part of Willowbrook Drive near 200th Street on Monday, June 16 around 1 p.m.
One lane of Willowbrook Drive heading east from 200th Street was closed, as was a southbound lane on 200 St.
Witnesses said the crash involved a silver sedan and a dark SUV. It drew a number of emergency responders, including 91原创 RCMP, firefighters, and two ambulances.
Surrey resident Madina Pinnegar told the 91原创 Advance Times she was driving the SUV with a friend in the passenger seat when they were rear-ended by the other vehicle, which was being driven by an older man.
"[He] hit my car from behind at the red light before continuing through the intersection and hitting the pole where the crosswalk buttons are," Pinnegar described.
"My friend and I in my car were thankfully the only people involved in the accident, other than a woman on the sidewalk who was almost hit but fortunately was okay."
Pinnegar said she was okay, "just a little sore," but worried about the other driver.
"Some Good Samaritans had gotten out of their cars to check on him saying they [thought] he had a seizure at the wheel."
