An RCMP motorcycle officer was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after a collision with a car, a black Subaru, in downtown Vancouver Monday, according to police.
BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) says it received a call shortly before noon about the incident, which took place at the intersection of Davie and Burrard streets.
“Two ambulances with primary care paramedics and an ambulance with advanced care paramedics responded to the scene,” said BCEHS paramedic public information officer Brian Twaites.
“Paramedics provided emergency medical care to one patient who was transported to hospital in serious but stable condition. A second patient was assessed but did not require BCEHS transport.”
The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) says because the crash happened in Vancouver, it has jurisdiction and will investigate the incident.
Editor’s note: this story has been updated to reflect a clarification provided by BCEHS. Only one patient was taken to hospital, and a second was assessed at the scene.
