A 20-year-old B.C. driver sent two of his friends to hospital following an attempted bit of stunt driving gone wrong in West Vancouver recently.
The accident took place on Cypress Bowl Road on Wednesday when the young driver, who only had a Class 7 learner’s license, sped up to twice the 60 km/h limit and “had attempted to ‘drift’ through a hairpin turn,” losing control, sliding across the oncoming lanes, hitting some rocks and smashing the 2018 BMW 440i into a parked and unoccupied Mercedes-Benz GLC300.
Both passengers were taken to hospital, but none sustained serious injuries.
