Man Drives Truck Through Maple Ridge Restaurant
Around dinner time last night, for some unknown reason, a man drove through the parking lot of a strip mall in Maple Ridge, and crashed through the front window of the Halu Sushi restaurant, killing two people, critically injuring three more, and sending six others to hospital with less serious injuries.
Apparently he kept going through the restaurant until he hit the back wall, so it wasn’t a matter of inattention on his part, but police haven’t said yet whether or not the act was intentional or whether there may have been a medical event that led to the crash. However, the fact that the driver was arrested, and not taken to hospital would tend to discount the chance that he’d had a heart attack, stroke, etc.
A single photograph and more details are available at GlobalTVBC.com
Ironically, about two years ago, almost the same thing happened at the Quiznos right next door to the sushi restaurant, when a driver accidentally pulled forward and pushed a woman standing out front of the Quiznos through the front window, killing her.
I’ll post more details as they become available.
