A black SUV collided with a parked unoccupied vehicle, the force of the collision pushed the parked car into the support beams of a residence resulting in the SUV rolling after impact.

Two off duty fire fighters attempted life saving measures until BC Ambulance Services and Maple Ridge Fire Department attended to take over. However, the 29-year-old man died on scene. Integrated Police Dog Services (IPDS) attended to thoroughly search the area to confirm the man was the lone occupant of the vehicle.
