BURNABY \u2014 Police in Burnaby, B.C., say two children have been hospitalized with serious injuries after a crash on Saturday.<\/p>\n
A statement from Burnaby RCMP describes the 11-year-old boy and nine-year-old girl as pedestrians, while BC Emergency Health Services says they received a call about a crash involving an E-scooter.<\/p>\n
The agency says it got the call at 12:44 p.m., dispatching four ambulances, and two patients were taken to hospital, one in critical condition, the other in serious condition.<\/p>\n
The Mounties say the driver of the vehicle involved in the crash, a grey Mercedes sedan, remained at the scene along Hastings Street, just east of Delta Avenue.<\/p>\n
Footage of the scene broadcast on Global News shows the Mercedes with a shattered front wind shield, a scooter lying on the street and two helmets nearby.<\/p>\n
The Burnaby RCMP criminal collision investigation team has taken control of the probe, but Cpl. Mike Kalanj says police need the public’s help as they investigate the crash.<\/p>\n
RCMP are asking anyone with video footage captured along Hastings Street and surrounding roads east of Springer Avenue between 12:30 and 12:45 p.m. Saturday to contact them, along with any witnesses who have yet to speak with police.<\/p>\n
“We are doing everything we can to support the families and loved ones of these children, but we need the public’s assistance here,” Kalanj says in the statement.<\/p>\n
