BURNABY, B.C. - A Coquitlam man is dead and three other people are in hospital after a crash during an apparent street race in Burnaby.
RCMP say witnesses saw two vehicles racing in the westbound lanes of the Lougheed Highway early Sunday evening.
They told police the red sporty car and black Dodge Viper were travelling at speeds of up to 130 kilometres an hour before the Viper lost control, struck a centre median and collided with two oncoming vehicles.
The 38-year-old driver of the high-performance car succumbed to his injuries.
The occupants of the other vehicles are being treated in Royal Columbian and Burnaby hospitals.
RCMP are searching for the other street racer, who was seen talking on a cellphone just before the crash.
As always the cops do have to turn it into a big street race even though they were probably just speeding...Who races at 130km/h anyways thats about 70 mph down a highway
