A pedestrian has died after being struck in the aftermath of a two-car crash on Canada Way near BCIT Tuesday afternoon. The collision happened at about 1:30 p.m. on Canada Way at Beta Avenue, sending one car, a white Infiniti, into a wooden hydro pole at Gardner Court after striking a pedestrian. The other, a grey Volkswagen Jetta, crashed into a bus stop. The Infiniti was eastbound on Canada Way while the Jetta was
entering the busy thoroughfare from Beta, turning right eastbound, when the crash happened, said Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Major John Buis. The pedestrian, a 22-year-old woman who worked in the area, was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital where she died. “She sustained critical head injuries,” he said. “The crash was so violent she was sent flying in the air a considerable distance.” In all, six people were sent to hospital. The Jetta’s driver, a woman in her late 50s, and her passenger, her son in his early 20s who she

had just picked up, were taken to Burnaby Hospital. The driver and two passengers from the Infiniti, two men and one woman all around 18 years old, were taken to Vancouver General Hospital. It’s not yet known which was the driver of the Infiniti. On Wednesday morning, Buis said they were all in stable condition, with injuries ranging from minor to serious, but not lifethreatening. “We’re looking into the possibility speed may have been a contributing factor,” he said Tuesday.
While both vehicles involved sported “N” stickers, Buis said that will form part of the investigation. He noted it’s not yet known whether either driver involved has any driving restrictions. “The debris field covered almost three-quarters of a city block. It’s huge.” Burnaby RCMP closed off traffic, in both directions, to Canada Way between Willingdon Avenue and Wayburne Drive for several hours while investigating the incident. The roadway reopened just before 7 p.m. Tuesday.

A Burnaby man is among four people charged in a national steroid smuggling operation, says Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The four B.C. men are the latest to be charged in connection with an anabolic steroid smuggling and distribution ring. The operation has been under investigation for two years across Canada, from Halifax to Victoria. Dubbed Project Juice, the investigation began in 2012 after steroids were intercepted in multiple postal seizures at the CBSA international mail centres in Vancouver and Toronto. More than 5,600 vials, 150,000 tablets, about 2.7 litres of prepared steroids, more than 50 kilograms of pure raw powders and $21,000 were seized during the investigation in B.C. On Jan. 29, CBSA’s criminal investigations section charged four men. Hubert Moses Sims of Burnaby and three others have each been charged with four counts—possession of unlawfully imported goods under the Customs Act; and trafficking, possession for the purpose of trafficking, and production under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
