Abbotsford man charged in 2024 fatal Burnaby collision

CHARGES have been laid against a 27-year-old Abbotsford man after a nearly two-year Criminal Collision Investigation Team (CCIT) investigation.

On Saturday, December 21, 2024, Burnaby RCMP frontline officers responded to a report of a two-vehicle collision at Boundary Road and Forest Street. It was reported that a vehicle travelling northbound on Boundary Road had t-boned another vehicle that was travelling westbound on Forest Street.

The collision resulted in the death of a Burnaby couple, a 67-year-old woman and a 71-year-old man. 

Burnaby RCMP’s CCIT assumed conduct of the investigation.

On September 21, 2026, the British Columbia Prosecution Service approved two counts of dangerous driving causing death against 27-year-old Adam Jones-Veneziano of Abbotsford.

“Fatal collision investigations take a toll on everyone involved. The extraordinary dedication and resilience of our Criminal Collision Investigation Team is unrivalled,” said Inspector Amanda Harnett, Burnaby RCMP’s Community Programs Officer. “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victims as this investigation moves to the courts”

Police said they would have no further comment while the matter is before the courts.
