Senior dies from injuries suffered in White Rock crash

Police investigating a Feb. 21 collision at the intersection of Thrift Avenue and Maple Street in White Rock are appealing for anyone who saw the crash to contact them.

Sgt. Roland Pierschke said last week that an 87-year-old White Rock man later died of injuries suffered in the crash, which occurred around 10 a.m.

While both drivers were “banged up pretty good,” the elderly man “didn’t appear to have life-threatening injuries at the time,” Pierschke said.

Investigation so far indicates the man was driving westbound on Thrift when his Ford Taurus was T-boned on the driver-side by a Honda that was northbound on Maple Street. The Honda driver, a 61-year-old White Rock woman, suffered minor injuries, Pierschke said.
