Mounties in Burnaby are asking the public for help finding dash cam footage or any witnesses of a collision early Sunday morning.

Officers say they responded to reports of two vehicles involved in a crash on Willingdon Avenue near Still Creek Drive around 3:20 a.m.

“It was reported that the driver of a black Mercedes (with three occupants) was driving northbound on Willingdon Avenue, while the driver of a red Hyundai SUV (with two occupants) was driving southbound when the collision occurred,” the RCMP said in a news release.

“It is early in the investigation; however, impairment is suspected as a contributing factor.”

The driver of the Hyundai was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police say.

Anyone who witnessed the incident or who may have dash cam footage from the area between 3:00 a.m. and 3:20 a.m. is being asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999 and quote file number 2023-37078.
