Delta Police Provide Update to Fatal Pedestrian Collision

Delta, BC – The Delta Police Department continues to investigate the September 30, 2026 collision at Tsawwassen Mills under file 26-18401.

Tragically, DPD has been advised that 64 year old Gwenyth Brigit DWYN, of South Delta, one of the two individuals who remained in hospital following the collision has died as a result of her injuries. This brings the number of people who have died as a result of the collision to three. One other individual who was initially taken to hospital has since been released and continues their recovery at home. Our thoughts remain with the victims families and loved ones, and with everyone affected by this tragedy.

An incident of this magnitude requires a thorough and methodical investigation given the number of victims, numerous witnesses, and substantial volume of evidence including cellphone and other video evidence from multiple sources. Investigators have completed extensive scene and collision analysis and continue to examine all available evidence relevant to determining exactly what occurred. This work includes examining the movements of the involved vehicle on the Tsawwassen Mills property before the pedestrians were struck, including an earlier collision. Investigators have not reached any final conclusions regarding the cause of the collisions.

The possibility that the driver experienced a medical event prior to the collisions remains under investigation. Based on the evidence reviewed to date, investigators have not identified evidence indicating that the collision was targeted or ideologically motivated. 

Investigators continue to gather and assess evidence to determine the full circumstances of this collision. If the evidence establishes criminality, any potential charges will be forwarded to Crown Counsel for assessment.

“We understand that the community has questions and wants answers about what occurred,” says Staff Sergeant Mike Whiteley, Media Relations Officer. “Our responsibility is to ensure those answers are based on a complete and objective examination of the evidence. Investigators are working through a significant amount of information, and it is important that we not reach conclusions before that work is complete.”

DPD continues to communicate with the affected families and with the Tsawwassen First Nation as the investigation progresses. We recognize the profound impact this tragedy has had on the community and remain committed to providing information when it can be shared without compromising the integrity of the investigation.

Police are asking anyone who has not already spoken with investigators and who witnessed the incident or observed the involved vehicle on the Tsawwassen Mills property before the collision to contact the Delta Police Department at 604-946-4411 and reference file 26-18401.
