Surrey RCMP say the suspect driver the fled on foot and headed into a taxi. A witness relayed the information to police, who were then able to stop the taxi and arrest the suspect.

The cause of the accident is still under investigation, though alcohol is believed to be a factor. Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to phone Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.
The accident comes a day after a young man died after being hit by a jeep while waiting at a Surrey bus stop at Fraser Highway and 156th Street.
