One person was killed and another seriously injured early Saturday in a single-vehicle accident in east Vancouver, according to the Vancouver Police Department.

The crash was reported about 1:58 a.m. near Southeast McGillivray Boulevard and Olympia Drive. Officers arriving on scene found that a Ford F-150 pickup had crashed into a tree and light pole, a VPD bulletin said.

Two females were inside the vehicle. One had died, and the other had life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital, police said.

The name and ages of the two females were not released pending notification of next of kin and the ongoing investigation, police said
