Burnaby RCMP investigating suspicious fatal collision
Burnaby RCMP are investigating after a woman died in a "suspicious" collision on Barnet Highway on Friday night.
According to a release, RCMP received a report of a single motor vehicle rollover in the 8,000-block of Barnet Highway just before 10 p.m.
Police found an unconscious man in the vehicle, and a woman who had been ejected from the vehicle. They were both taken to hospital, where the woman died from her injuries.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) has been called and will be working with police because police say the circumstances surrounding the collision are suspicious.
