A crash in Maple Ridge has resulted in one person being airlifted to hospital early Wednesday morning.
Ridge Meadows RCMP confirmed that a single vehicle “incident” took place at 256 Street and 98 Avenue.
Insp. Jayson Lucash described the incident as “low speed”.
Lucash said that upon police arrival three occupants were found conscious, breathing and cooperative.
“However, one person was airlifted to hospital with non-life threatening lower body injuries,” he continued, noting that speed and alcohol are not factors in the crash.
The mother of one of the occupants of the vehicle took to social media to reply to concerned comments online about the incident, thanking everybody for their kind words.
The rollover resulted in her daughter being thrown from the vehicle, she said, adding that her daughter is in stable condition and is awaiting surgery at B.C. Children’s Hospital.
