Three people were sent to the hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries on Friday morning, after a three-vehicle crash at the high school in Summerland.
On June 14 at 8:30 a.m., police said the driver of a Ford Expedition lost control after dropping off a passenger in the Summerland Secondary School parking lot.
Police said the Ford Expedition, possibly suffering from mechanical issues, began to rev up uncontrollably. As a result, the driver was unable to stop the vehicle from driving across the road.
The vehicle then struck a sign and crashed with two other vehicles in an adjacent parking lot.
The passengers of the two other vehicles sustained serious, non-life threatening injuries.
One of the drivers had to be rescued by the Summerland Fire Department. All vehicles involved sustained significant damage.
