QUESNEL – Police in British Columbia say a tractor-trailer driver has been charged with impaired driving causing death in a crash involving a motorcyclist last year.
The crash happened July 24, 2025, on Highway 97 near Quesnel, in the Cariboo region.
Police say a Kenworth tractor-trailer collided with a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, killing the 42-year-old man on the motorbike who was from Chemainus, on Vancouver Island.
The BC Prosecution Service approved multiple charges against the truck driver after a yearlong police investigation.
The truck’s operator faces one count each of dangerous driving causing death, impaired driving causing death and driving with a blood-alcohol content over the legal limit.
The driver is set to appear in Quesnel Provincial Court on Aug. 18.
