Nobody was seriously hurt after an RCMP vehicle and an SUV crashed in Surrey’s Cloverdale area Sunday night, according to authorities.

An officer with the RCMP Surrey Provincial Operations Support Unit was responding to an emergency call just before 8:30 p.m. when an SUV crashed into the vehicle at the intersection of 176 Street and 64 Avenue, police said.

“The occupants of the SUV, two adults and a small child, were taken to hospital by (B.C. Emergency Health Services) and examined by medical staff and it was determined that they had no injuries,” the Surrey Police Service wrote in a news release Monday.

“The RCMP officer was taken to hospital, examined, and later released with minor injuries.”

The SPOSU’s major crime MVI unit and the integrated collision analysis and reconstruction service were called in to investigate and the intersection was closed for several hours as a result. The cause of the crash is yet to be determined.

Police asked anyone who witnessed the collision or has dash camera video to call 604-599-0502.
