Surrey Leader 

Two young Surrey men didn’t make it home from a wedding celebration early Saturday morning.

They died when the new Jaguar sedan they were riding in allegedly ran a red light at the intersection of 132 Street and 88 Avenue about 1:48 a.m. and slammed into a car.

The Jaguar driver, also a Surrey resident, was ejected from the car. Police said the survivor may be charged with impaired driving causing death.

The three occupants of the crumpled Jaguar had reportedly attended an Indo-Canadian wedding celebration earlier that evening. Accident investigators believe the three were not wearing their seatbelts.

The occupants of the Toyota suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

“This collision was perfectly preventable,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Don Loeppky told CTV News. “It didn’t need to happen.”

At Leader press time the identity of the victims had not been released.

Investigators said the Jaguar was travelling south on 132 Street at a high rate of speed when it collided with the Toyota travelling east on 88 Avenue. The Jaguar flipped and slammed into a hydro pole.

Anyone who witnessed the crash or has other information should call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.
