The incident happened around 6:10 p.m., according to BC Emergency Health Services, which said it sent 11 ground ambulances and an air ambulance to the scene on Keith Street. Of the 10 patients taken to the hospital, two were in critical condition, three were in serious condition and five were in stable condition, EHS said. According to information, the vehicle was leaving the road when it speeded into a crowd of people. The 400 block of Keith Road is closed as police investigate. The West Vancouver Police Department said it would not speak to the media or release more information about the incident Sunday. The department said it plans to issue a statement and answer questions on Monday. Residents of the affluent neighborhood were left to speculate Sunday about exactly what had gone wrong. “It’s pretty scary this morning to wake up and realize it’s so close and probably with people you knew,” said Gordon Ridgedale, who lives nearby. “The first thing you wonder is whether it was on purpose or whether it was an accident,” he added. “Maybe it was just the fact that he hit the gas instead of the brake.” “It sounds like a very tragic incident that happened,” said Marion Haglund, who also lives in the neighborhood. “I don’t know the details, really, of whether it was a medical event that happened, but the coincidence of the location of the wedding and the other street of the person involved sounds pretty tragic.” Haglund expressed her condolences to those who lost loved ones, and Ridgedale – who was on her way to church when she spoke to CTV News – said she planned to pray for those involved.
