A White Rock man was taken to hospital for neck pain Thursday afternoon following a two-car collision at 24 Avenue and 160 Street in South Surrey.

The crash occurred just before 4 p.m., sending a black Honda CRX into a traffic sign and off the road at the intersection's southeast corner. The rear bumper of the second car, a blue Honda Civic, landed on the sidewalk nearby.

Police say the CRX was eastbound on 24 Avenue when it struck the southbound Civic in the intersection.

"Witnesses at the scene indicate (the CRX) went through a red light," Surrey RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet said Friday.

Three occupants of the Civic – all of them White Rock residents and one of them a two-year-old girl – were not injured, Paquet said.

The 37-year-old CRX driver was issued a ticket under the Motor Vehicle Act for "disobeying traffic device."
