SURREY – The Indo-Canadian driver in last week’s tractor-trailer collision has succumbs to his injuries, police said Monday.

Although police has not identified him, he was revealed on whatsapp as Sandeep Singh and a Go-Fund-Me fundraising effort was advertised to help his family.

On July 16 at approximately 8:10 pm, Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a collision involving two tractor-trailers along Highway 17 and 116 Avenue. 

The Surrey RCMP said the driver was a 41-year-old man who was transported to hospital last Tuesday and he succumbed to his injuries the following day.

Last week, the police said in a news release that one of the drivers, a 41-year-old man, was taken to hospital with serious injuries and remains in hospital. The driver and passenger of the other tractor-trailer, a 44-year-old man and 64-year-old man, were also taken to hospital for further assessment and since have been released.

The Surrey RCMP Criminal Collision Investigation Team (CCIT) and the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service (ICARS) were called out and have done their initial work. 

The Surrey RCMP Criminal Collision Investigation Team continues to investigate this fatality, police said. 

“Our thoughts are with the victim's family and friends at this time,” Surrey RCMP said.
