Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Largy said a 2014 Toyota Prius was heading north on 202A when it swerved into the light pole.

“It’s believed the driver suffered a medical incident which caused her to lose control of the vehicle,” Largy told the Langley Advance Times.
A 40-year-old woman from Langley was at the wheel, with two passengers, a 62-year-old woman and a 12-year-old boy.
Photos on social media show bystanders tried to come to their aid before emergency crews arrived.
They all suffered serious injuries, and were transported to hospital.
As of Tuesday, the 12-year-old boy was still in critical condition, as was the driver. The female from Langley was said to be stable.
