LANGLEY — Mounties in Langley say they are investigating a fatal crash in which a 22-year-old Abbotsford motorcyclist collided head-on with a Dodge pickup in December 2023.

On Tuesday, December 5, at 7:30 p.m., Langley RCMP were notified about a serious motor vehicle collision in the 26900 block of Fraser Highway. Frontline RCMP members attended the scene as did Township of Langley Fire Department crews and BC Emergency Health Services personnel.

According to a statement from Langley RCMP spokesperson Corporal Craig van Herk, an initial investigation by authorities determined the driver of a Dodge pickup truck was stopped in the centre lane of Fraser Highway while waiting to complete a left turn to go east from the highway. A motorcycle traveling west on Fraser Highway collided with the front of the truck. Multiple bystanders and witnesses immediately rendered first aid to the motorcyclist. However, police say the driver of the motorcycle, a 22-year-old Abbotsford man, died from his injuries at the scene.

Police say the driver of the Dodge pickup remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation.

Langley RCMP’s General Investigation Section (GIS) attended along with the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service (ICARS).

Police are asking anyone with information regarding the collision, those with dashcam footage, or any potential witnesses, to contact the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.
