　　警方虽未证实死者身分,但表示意外成因无疑同肇事汽车严重超速有关。在车祸中的死伤者全是女性,受重伤的3个女子现经手术后伤势由危殆转为严重,目前情况稳定。

　　在惨烈车祸发生翌日,有署名「心小缔Cindy」的网友在新浪微博留言称,「出事的是妈妈的朋友,当时正开去温哥华私校接一对子女。她是在左转灯的地方等待。」对此,列市皇家骑警发言人特利(Sherrdean Turley)未予证实,但她表示,死者居住列治文,是2个孩子的母亲。

　　特利同时透露车祸细节,事发周三下午3时30分左右,一辆正沿乃街(Knight St.)夹西敏公路(Westminster Hwy.)西行的Aston Martin名贵开篷跑车,以非常快的速度勐烈撞击在路口等待转灯的一辆平治(Mercedes-Benz)四驱车(SUV),酿成涉及本田(Honda)Odyssey、福特(Ford)Escape等8车相撞车祸。

　　平治车辆中44岁女司机当场死亡,而Aston Martin的2个40多岁女子,以及另一车中的30岁女司机重伤,事后被送医救治,3人伤势目前由危殆转为严重。

　　特利强调,意外调查工作尚属初步阶段,警方初步相信车祸同Aston Martin跑车严重超速有关;她说:「事发地点时速限制60公里,跑车时速非常快,简直快得『荒唐的』(ridiculous)。」但她未有透露究竟超速多少。

　　特利也强调,骑警会对其他可能造成车祸的因素展开调查,包括Aston Martin司机是否醉驾或滥用药物,以及周边路面情况等。

　　据列治文区报《列治文评论》(Richmond Review)报道,事发时在西敏公路夹6号路(No.6 Rd.)一工地指挥交通的威利斯(Willis),目击一辆时速约200公里的汽车冲红灯,拦腰撞向现场其他车辆。而一些见义勇为好市民,即时协助车祸受害人逃生。

　　据报,在加拿大全国每年约售出10辆Aston Martin DB9s名贵开篷跑车,每部车价约20万元。
