Burnaby RCMP is appealing to the public for witnesses and dashcam video following a fatal head-on collision that claimed the life of one man late Monday night.

The crash occurred at approximately 11:00 p.m. on Monday, February 16, on Marine Way near Roseberry Avenue. According to investigators, a vehicle traveling eastbound on Marine Way was struck head-on by another vehicle traveling in the westbound direction.

The driver of the westbound vehicle was pronounced dead as a result of the impact. Other individuals involved in the collision were transported to a local hospital with serious injuries, though officials state their conditions are currently non-life-threatening.

The Burnaby RCMP’s Criminal Collision Investigation Team (CCIT) has taken conduct of the investigation. While the probe is in its early stages, authorities believe that excessive speed played a significant role in the tragedy.

“Speed is believed to be a contributing factor,” said Cpl. Mike Kalanj of the Burnaby RCMP. “We are asking anyone who witnessed this collision or possesses video footage that could assist our investigators to please contact the Burnaby RCMP immediately.”
