SURREY, B.C. – Five people were killed in a collision Sunday not far from the United States border in Surrey, British Columbia.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police say it appears a minivan sped through a red light and hit a mid-size car with such force it was torn in half.

Names of the victims have not been released.
