Incident
On Tuesday November 13 2012, RCMP Constable Adrian Oliver died in a motor vehicle incident while patrolling the streets of Surrey BC. Cst. Oliver, a 3 1/2 year veteran of the force, was heading back to the detachment headquarters near the end of his shift, just before 5:00 a.m., when his unmarked car crashed with a semi truck in the intersection of 148th Street and 64th Avenue. The 28-year-old was pulled from the tangled wreckage and rushed to hospital but died a short time later. The crash demolished the front end of the police car. The investigation continues.
