After losing their 15-year-old daughter and sister, Lidia, in a single-vehicle crash near Mission March 6, Langley’s Ramos family is now dealing with another sudden and tragic death. Lidia’s cousin, Shaun Sutton, 24, was killed last Thursday in a separate collision at the intersection of 16 Avenue and 197A Street, reportedly while on his way to visit his grieving aunt, Angela, who is Lidia’s mother. Police were called at 5:30 p.m. on March 10 for what appeared to be a rear-end collision between a Ford Mustang and a Dodge Ram SHAUN pickup truck. The eastSUTTON bound Mustang had – Faceb ook stopped at 197A Street to make a left hand turn and was rear-ended by a Dodge pickup truck, driven by a 21-year-old Surrey resident. There were three occupants in the Mustang, including Sutton, who was sitting in the back seat. He was killed on impact. “I don’t think he knew what happened because he alway had his headphones in his ears and his music. It made him happy,” Sutton’s mother, Leilani, told CTV News. “She (Sutton’s girlfriend) said she turned around and looked and he was gone.” “I don’t know what my family has done so wrong that we are being (picked) off one by one,” Sutton’s family member Tanya Fincaryk wrote on a Gofundme page that is raising money to cover his funeral costs.

Crash claims second family member in five-day span Cousin of a 15-year-old Langley girl killed near Mission, dies in 16 Ave. collision

A fire in a second-floor unit of a multi-family residential building forced the evacuation of residents Monday afternoon. No serious injuries were reported in the fire at the Linwood Place complex on 55A Avenue near 200 Street. At least three fire vehicles, three police cars and one ambulance responded at around 3 p.m. Police said many of the suites were unoccupied because the building was undergoing asbestos removal. Officers had to order about a half dozen residents, who were ignoring the fire alarm and smoke smell, to leave the building. Firefighters could be seen using a pet oxygen mask on two cats removed from the building. Some ferrets were also treated. A fundraising campaign by Mountain View Veterinary Hospital equipped the Langley City and Township and Abbotsford fire departments with the pet oxygen mask kits last year. It is the first time the kits have been used by the fire department.
