VANCOUVER Police are investigating a fatal collision that occurred on Sunday, December 24 around noon at the intersection of Cambie and Dunsmuir streets. A total of seven people were taken to hospital. One person did not survive.

A red Hyundai sedan was travelling north on Cambie Street and began making a left turn onto Dunsmuir Street when it collided with a southbound grey Nissan Pathfinder. The five passengers of the Hyundai, all family members, were taken to hospital with injuries ranging from minor to serious. A 78-year-old woman in the back seat died at hospital.

The two occupants of the Pathfinder were taken to hospital where they were treated for minor injuries and released.
