One patient was taken to hospital by air ambulance in serious condition Saturday evening after what the North Vancouver RCMP is calling a “serious boating collision” near Cates Park.

BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) tells 1130 NewsRadio it was called out to the incident shortly after 6:30 p.m.

“BCEHS responded with eight units including three primary care paramedics, two advanced care paramedics, a supervisor, the infant care team, and a helicopter,” it said.

Posts on social media show that people in the area started hearing sirens before 7 p.m.

Police have closed the park’s boat launch as they investigate.

We have reached out to the RCMP for more information.

This is a developing story.
