The Vancouver Police Department says a number of people have been killed and multiple injured after a driver drove into a crowd at a Vancouver street festival shortly after 8 p.m.
“The driver is in custody,” VPD said on X. “We will provide more information as the investigation unfolds.”
A person 1130 News Radio spoke to says their daughter was helping run a food truck at the Lapu Lapu Festival when the incident unfolded.
They say there were suddenly screams as the driver of a black SUV ripped through the crowd, striking more than a dozen people near East 43rd Ave and Fraser St.
The person says multiple people were given CPR, and claims the driver of the SUV attempted to get out of the vehicle and flee on foot. They say the driver was held by multiple people on the scene until police arrived.
More to come.
