MISSION — Mounties in Mission say a 78-year-old woman from Mission died Tuesday evening (Dec. 3) after a head-on collision on Wilson Street south of Dewdney Trunk Road.
According to a statement from Corporal Harrison Mohr, first responders attended the collision scene in the 11600 block of Wilson Street at about 5 p.m. Police say initial evidence suggests that a grey Pontiac Wave was heading southbound on Wilson Street and crossed the center-line, crashing head-on with a grey Ford Escape that was in the northbound lane.
The 78-year-old driver of the Pontiac Wave died as a result of her injuries, while the 76-year-old female driver of the Ford sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Police say it has not been determined why the driver of the Pontiac crossed the center-line.
Cpl. Mohr says Wilson Street was closed during the evening while officers from Mission RCMP’s Traffic Services Unit and the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service attended to examine the fatal crash scene. The roadway has since reopened.
