A grandmother and her granddaughter were taken to hospital after their vehicle collided with an unmarked Vancouver Police Department vehicle in Burnaby Tuesday afternoon. The Burnaby Fire Department was called to Kingsway and 12th Avenue at about 1:35 p.m. for a two-vehicle collision. After securing the vehicles, firefighters provided first aid to a grandmother and child, according to assistant fire Chief Barry Mawhinney. The pair, with the girl still in her car seat, were loaded into an ambulance and taken to hospital with minor injuries. The driver and lone occupant of the other vehicle was an on-duty VPD detective, according to Vancouver police. He had been travelling east on Kingsway, “driving routinely and not involved in any active duty,” when his vehicle struck a northbound vehicle at 12th Avenue, according to VPD media relations officer Sgt. Jason Robillard. “The cause of the collision is still being investigated by the VPD’s collision investigation team as well as the Burnaby RCMP. Speed or alcohol do not appear to be factors in this incident,” he said. – By Cornelia Naylor, staff reporter
