Motorcyclist killed in crash with commercial truck: Langley RCMP
Mounties in Langley say speed was a factor in a crash that killed a motorcyclist on Highway 1 Sunday night. First responders were called to the westbound lanes of the highway between 264th and 248th streets just before 8:30 p.m., after a collision involving a motorcycle and a commercial truck travelling in the same direction, according to police. 'Despite the rapid arrival of BC Emergency Health Services and Township of Langley Fire crews, and the administration of life-saving measures, the motorcyclist was pronounced deceased at the scene,' the Langley RCMP wrote in a news release Monday. Collision analysts, B.C. Highway Patrol and the local RCMP detachment were called in to investigate and the highway was closed for several hours as a result, but has since re-opened. 'Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of the individual who lost their life,' Sgt. Zynal Sharoom said, in the release. Police asked anyone who witnessed the crash or has dash camera video to call the detachment at 604-532-3200.
