Driver Strikes 4 People Outside a Mall in British Columbia, Killing 2, Police Say The accident occurred as hundreds of people were gathering nearby for a National Day of Truth and Reconciliation march near Delta, a city south of Vancouver, the authorities said.
据当地警方称，这起事故发生在数百人聚集在温哥华南部城市德尔塔（Delta）附近参加“真相与和解日”（National Day of Truth and Reconciliation）游行活动时。
Two people were killed and two others were injured in British Columbia on Wednesday when a driver lost control of a pickup truck that crashed into pedestrians outside a shopping mall on tribal lands, the authorities said.
周三，一名司机失控驾驶皮卡车，撞上了购物中心外的行人，造成2人死亡、2人受伤。德尔塔警方将此次事故归类为普通交通事故，并表示司机可能出现了健康问题（即司机当时可能处于突发健康状况）。目前尚不清楚司机的具体状况。
The police in Delta, a city about 20 miles south of Vancouver near the lands of the Tsawwassen First Nation, classified the crash as an accident and said the driver appeared to have experienced a medical episode. The driver’s condition was not immediately known. The crash occurred around 10:25 a.m.
事故发生在太平洋时间上午10点25分左右，地点是Tsawwassen Mills购物中心的车库内。当时有数百人正在该购物中心参加游行及其他纪念活动，以纪念2021年设立的“真相与和解日”——这一联邦假日旨在缅怀那些被从家人身边带走、被迫送往寄宿学校的原住民儿童所遭受的苦难。这是周三加拿大全国范围内发生的多起类似事件之一。
Pacific time in the parking lot of Tsawwassen Mills, a shopping center where hundreds of people had gathered for a march and other ceremonies observing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a federal holiday established in 2021 to recognize the trauma of Indigenous children who were taken from their families and forced to live in residential schools. The event was one of many that were being held across Canada on Wednesday. In a statement released on social media, the Delta Police Department said there was “no ongoing risk to public safety.”
德尔塔警察部门在社交媒体上发布的声明中表示：“公众安全没有受到威胁。”警方尚未公布两名受伤者的具体伤情，但急救人员已在现场对他们进行了救治并将其送往医院。
The conditions of the two injured pedestrians at the shopping center were not immediately available from the police, who said that emergency medical workers treated them at the scene and took them to a hospital. The two people who died were members of the Tsawwassen First Nation, according to Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada, who said in a statement on Wednesday that the Indigenous group was in the nation’s heart.
据加拿大总理马克·卡尼（Mark Carney）称，两名遇难者属于Tsawwassen原住民部落的成员。他在声明中表示：“在这样一个充满悲伤的日子里，失去两位深受爱戴的长者，实在令人心碎。”
“To lose two beloved elders — in such a terrifying accident and on a day already so heavy with grief — is devastating,” Mr. Carney said. In a social media post on Wednesday, David Eby, the premier of British Columbia, offered his condolences.
在周三的一条社交媒体帖子中，不列颠哥伦比亚省省长戴维·埃比表达了他的哀悼之情。
“On a day already set aside for solemn reflection, a tragedy during the Tsawwassen First Nation Truth and Reconciliation event has shocked and saddened us all,” Mr. Eby said.
“在这个本就应用于庄严反思的日子里，发生在‘Tsawwassen第一民族真相与和解活动’期间的悲剧令我们所有人感到震惊和悲痛，”埃比先生说。
Dylan Kruger, a member of the City Council in Delta, said in a phone interview on Wednesday that he was at the mall for the observance when he saw ambulances and medical helicopters respond to the crash.
德尔塔市议会议员迪伦·克鲁格在周三接受电话采访时表示，他当时正在购物中心参加该活动，当时他看到救护车和医疗直升机正在现场进行救援。
He said the Tsawwassen First Nation has about 400 members.
他提到，“Tsawwassen第一民族”约有400名成员，因此这场悲剧对该小型且关系紧密的社区来说无疑会造成巨大的打击。部落官员在周三并未立即回应外界的提问。
“So obviously, that’s going to be very devastating for that small and tightknit community,” he added. Tribal officials did not immediately respond to questions on Wednesday.
“Tsawwassen第一民族”在一份声明中要求公众尊重他们的隐私，并呼吁人们避免前往该地区。
In a statement, the Tsawwassen First Nation asked for privacy and urged people to avoid the area.
