LOWER MAINLAND (NEWS 1130) – Gunshots and a dramatic car chase on icy roads through Surrey and Delta last night ended with the vehicle crashing and knocking over two Hydro polls.

RCMP Staff Sergeant Blair McColl says a man phoned police just before 8 p.m., saying that his vehicle was being shot at on 152 Street at 48th Avenue.

“The suspect vehicle, described as a white Pontiac, fled the scene eastbound, deeper into Surrey, towards Langley, made a south turn down into South Surrey, where it went back west eventually ending up on Highway 99 and continuing westbound,” he tells us.

“There was a little bit on and off but essentially, this white Pontiac — still followed by this fellow who reported he was being shot at — ended up going off on Highway 17 and onto River Road.”

McColl says that is when the vehicle lost control, sheared off a power pole, and crashed.

Police arrested three men and seized one firearm. McColl says the driver was hurt from glass fragments when bullets hit his windshield.

“There was a lot of high speed driving; to be honest, we could not catch up to them. The only reason that we kept following was that the caller kept following the suspect vehicle and that further shots were being fired.”

The suspects are known to police; two are being held in a Surrey jail and a third is in the hospital. But McColl says there is nothing obvious to indicate they are involved in an ongoing Surrey conflict.
