LANGLEY – One person is dead and another has been airlifted to hospital following a crash on Highway 1 in British Columbia.

Sgt. Joe Leeson with Langley RCMP says officers were called around 9:40 p.m. Friday night after a tow truck hit the rear of a tractor-trailer unit in the eastbound lanes of Highway 1.

Leeson says the tow-truck driver died at the scene.

The passenger was flown by air ambulance to hospital.

The collision closed the eastbound lanes of Highway 1 near Langley overnight, and while Drive BC says the road reopened Saturday, it warned drivers to expect major delays due to congestion.

RCMP are investigating the cause of the collision.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 7, 2024.
