Surrey RCMP are hoping to speak to the driver of this car

Surrey RCMP would like to speak to a man they believe was the first person to arrive at the scene of a serious crash in Surrey in early December.

The collision occurred on Dec. 6 at about 8:10 p.m. near 134 Street and 66A Avenue. Police were advised a Ford Edge travelling southbound on 134th had sideswiped a northbound Ford pickup truck. The Edge then went off the road and into a tree.

The 40-year-old male driver of the Edge was badly injured and remains in critical, but stable, condition in hospital.

After reviewing video surveillance and 911 calls, police are hoping to identify a potential witness who was driving behind the Edge prior to the incident.

It's believed the witness was a man and was the first to arrive at the scene and spoke to the driver of the pickup truck. They think he may be the same person seen driving a light-coloured sedan captured on video surveillance (in above photo).

Anyone with further information about the Dec. 6 crash, including the witness himself, is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP’s Criminal Collision Investigation Team (CCIT) at 604-599-0502, quoting file # 2014-176731.

Surrey RCMP remind people that if they witness a collision, remain at the scene to speak to an officer.
