A man died at the University of British Columbia on Wednesday (Jan. 17) after the car he was driving went through a second-storey parkade barrier and crashed to the ground below.
RCMP say the driver suffered “significant injuries” from the plummet, which occurred around 9:30 a.m., with the black sedan he was in landing in a vertical position. Despite the need to extract him quickly, first responders were hindered by a chunk of the parkade’s concrete barrier dangling precariously above the car, according to RCMP.
