Burnaby RCMP is asking the public for dashcam video and witnesses after a collision that has left two young pedestrians in the hospital with serious injuries.

On Saturday, May 2, 2026, at approximately 12:45 p.m., Burnaby RCMP frontline officers responded to a report of a collision involving two young pedestrians on Hastings Street, just east of Delta Avenue. The driver of the vehicle, a grey Mercedes sedan, was travelling westbound on Hastings Street when the collision occurred near Hythe Avenue. The driver remained on scene.

Both pedestrians were transported to the hospital with serious injuries. Hastings Street was shut down in both directions between Delta Avenue and Springer Avenue and will remain closed as investigators remain on scene collecting evidence.

Burnaby RCMP’s Criminal Collision Investigation Team has conduct of the investigation.

The pedestrians are both children, an 11-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl, and they remain in the hospital with serious injuries. For the privacy of the family, we will not be providing any further details at this time.

“We are doing everything we can to support the families and loved ones of these children, but we need the public’s assistance here,” said Cpl. Mike Kalanj with the Burnaby RCMP. 

Police are asking for anyone that may have witnessed the collision and have not yet spoken to police to please come forward. Police are also asking for anyone with dashcam video on Hastings Street, from anywhere east of Springer Avenue, between 12:30 p.m. and 12:45 p.m., on Saturday, May 2, to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999 and quote file number 2026-14863. 

This plea includes any feeder roads north or south of Hastings Street.

“With these children and their loved ones in mind, please contact our investigators with any information or dashcam footage. We are not just asking for video around the collision, we would like to speak to anyone with dashcam video on Hastings Street and any feeder roads between 12:30 p.m. and 12:45 p.m. anywhere east of Springer Avenue as well.”
