Police seek answers in crash that killed 2 elders, hurt 2 others on B.C. First Nation

DELTA — Community members on the Tsawwassen First Nation lined the road, drummed and chanted as the bodies of two elders were loaded into coroners’ vehicles outside a shopping centre near the nation’s reserve south of Vancouver.

They were killed and two others were injured by a vehicle outside the Tsawwassen Mills shopping centre Wednesday while taking part in a walk to mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Police in Delta, B.C., said it’s believed the driver of a pickup had a medical emergency near one of the mall’s entrances and drove into a group.

Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed his condolences on social media to those who lost loved ones or who were injured, saying the accident happened on a day already heavy with grief.
