One month after a deadly crash in Surrey, police are once again appealing for witnesses.

The Surrey Police Service (SPS) says officers were called to the area of 120 Street and 97 Avenue around 4 p.m. on July 1 for reports of a multi-vehicle crash.

Both the Surrey Fire Service and BC Emergency Health Services attended the scene.

Three people were taken to the hospital; one was transported with life-threatening injuries.

Less than a week later, one of the drivers, the person with life-threatening injuries, died.

In an update Friday, the SPS says investigators have “become aware of posts on social media showing videos of the collision from potential witnesses.”

Anyone with information to share or dashcam footage is urged to call the Surrey Police Service’s non-emergency number at 604-599-0502 and quote file 25-54337 (SP). If you choose to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at www.solvecrime.ca or 1-800-222-8477.
