Video is circulating of a high-speed crash on a residential street in Surrey that left two people in hospital and both drivers potentially facing charges.

Surrey RCMP say one driver in the collision in the 7900-block of 124th Street is being investigated for speeding, the other for improper turning.

The crash as well as a confrontation between one of the drivers and witnesses were captured on video that is being shared widely on the social media platform X.

Lobb said investigators have determined that a Honda Civic did a U-turn from the southbound lane of 124th Street, entering the northbound lane, when it was hit by a Dodge Challenger. Both vehicles were significantly damaged.

A woman and child in the Honda were taken to hospital, with the child sustaining non-life-threatening injuries. The adult male and a passenger in the Dodge were uninjured.

Three ambulances from B.C. Emergency Health Services were dispatched just before 4 p.m. Saturday and paramedics took two patients to hospital, said spokesperson Rachelle Bown.

“Impairment has been ruled out,” said Lobb.

The investigation continues.
