The truck also plowed through a fence and hit a house, one of its inhabitants telling CTV News off-camera that he felt the home shake.
Another resident, who is a nurse, performed CPR on one of the victims, but the individual died at the scene, according to the witness.
A tarp could be seen underneath the pickup truck.
BC Emergency Health Services told CTV News it sent six ambulances to the scene at 67 A Avenue and 144 Street around 4:30 p.m.

Police shut down 144 Street in both directions between 64th and 68th avenues, and the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service was sent to the area to investigate, said Cpl. Dave Noon with the unit.
