At approximately 5 p.m. West Division officers responded to a two-vehicle collision in the area of 163 Street and 92 Avenue. It was reported that a blue 2015 Dodge Ram truck travelling northbound on 163 Street struck a black 2010 Honda CR-V that was turning onto 163 Street southbound from 92 Avenue westbound.

The CR-V was occupied by four individuals - three females and one male. EMS responded, treated and transported two female passengers, a 59-year-old and a 90-year-old, to hospital with life-threatening injuries. The 68-year-old male driver of the CR-V and an additional passenger, a 67-year-old female, did not sustain any injuries.
