Collision at Tsawwassen Mills Mall

Delta police reported that a vehicle struck four pedestrians in the parking lot of Tsawwassen Mills Mall in Delta, British Columbia, on Wednesday morning. Preliminary information indicated the driver may have experienced a medical emergency before the vehicle entered the pedestrian area. Two of the pedestrians died from their injuries, while the remaining individuals received treatment at the scene.

Immediate Response and Safety Measures

Police arrived at approximately 10:25 a.m., secured the area with tape, and directed emergency services to the victims. An alert was issued urging the public to avoid the mall vicinity while responders worked. Police emphasized that there is no ongoing risk to public safety and that the incident is unrelated to any other events occurring nearby.

Impact on Truth and Reconciliation Walk

At the time of the collision, a Truth and Reconciliation walk was taking place on Tsawwassen First Nation lands adjacent to the mall. Police confirmed that the vehicle incident was not connected to the walk, leading organizers to cancel the event as a precaution. The cancellation was communicated through public alerts and on-site signage.

Ongoing Investigation

Delta police continue to investigate the cause of the driver’s medical emergency and the circumstances that led to the vehicle entering the pedestrian zone. The investigation remains open, and authorities have asked anyone with additional information to contact them. No further details about the driver’s condition or identity have been released pending the investigation.
