Surrey Police Service (SPS) is investigating a fatal overnight single-vehicle collision in South Surrey that has claimed the life of the driver. 

At approximately 9:37 pm on February 22, 2026, Surrey Police Service, Surrey Fire Services (SFS), and BCEHS received calls for a vehicle that had rolled over into a water-filled ditch on 168 Street north of 40 Avenue. SFS firefighters were able to remove the driver, a man in his 20’s and the lone occupant of the car, and they, along with BCEHS paramedics, administered life saving measures. Sadly, the driver later succumbed to his injuries in hospital. 

SPS’s Collision Investigation Unit (CIU) were called to the scene, and they have assumed conduct of the investigation. At this early stage, the cause remains under investigation. 

Surrey Police Service is asking anyone who witnessed the collision, or who may have been driving in the area of 168 Street and 40 Avenue at approximately 9:30 pm on February 22, 2026, and is in possession of dashcam footage, to contact the SPS non-emergency line at 604-599-0502 and quote file number 25-17735 (SP).
