It was a dangerous weekend on Metro Vancouver roads, with three separate incidents leaving one dead, several injured and a car submerged in the Fraser River.
On Saturday around 6:30 p.m., Vancouver Police were called about a car that had gone off the south end of Fraser Street and into the water.
Officers arrived to find a vehicle that had crashed through a barrier and brush and plunged several feet into the Fraser River. Both occupants were able to exit the vehicle and swim to shore; both were transported to hospital with minor injuries.
The Coast Guard is now working to retrieve the vehicle from the water on Sunday morning. Police continue to investigate.
