Maserati driver critically injures one, seriously injures another in Surrey hit-and-run: police

Maserati driver injures 2 An investigation continues after the driver of a Maserati hit five vehicles and injured two people before running away.

The driver of a Maserati fled the scene of a high-speed crash in Surrey that sent two people to hospital, one in critical condition on Saturday night, according to authorities.

First responders arrived at the scene on 75 Avenue near 124 Street around 10: 15 p.m., the Surrey Police Service said, finding one man pinned between two parked vehicles and another who had gone flying after he was hit.

Investigators report finding five vehicles hit by the Maserati in total, including parked and moving vehicles.

"Obviously for the pedestrian who was pinned, time was of the essence," said Surrey police spokesperson, Ian MacDonald.

The 29-year-old man is in critical but stable condition in hospital, and MacDonald says "if it wasn't for the quick work of Surrey Fire Service as well as BC Ambulance, we might be looking at a fatality. The other, individual, a 28-year-old man, who I mentioned was thrown, he suffered serious injuries but is in stable condition in hospital as well."

The driver of the Maserati “immediately” fled the scene, police said.

“We can often very quickly determine who the registered owner of a vehicle is. Almost as quickly we can determine who would likely have possession of the vehicle at any given time," MacDonald explained.

"What becomes more challenging is actually putting the driver behind the wheel and so that's where the forensics, the witnesses and our investigation will have to continue, because obviously when an occupant or occupants flee, they're doing so to try to shirk that responsibility. It's our job to put that responsibility back on them."

Anyone with information or video of the crash is urged to call 604-599-0502 and refer to file number 2025-1078. Anonymous tips can be submitted to Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-8477.
