RCMP are seeking witnesses to a fatal crash outside Chetwynd.
Emergency personnel were called shortly before 1 p.m. Tuesday to a collision between a pickup truck and a transport truck on Highway 97 about 25 kilometres north of the community, 306 kilometres north of Prince George.
Police said the pickup truck was heading north and was legally overtaking a transport truck in the passing lane when it collided with a southbound transport truck.
"The southbound transport truck was going downhill in a sharp curve at low speed due to poor road and weather conditions at the time when it lost control and its trailer slid out into the path of the oncoming pickup truck," RCMP said in a press release.
The pickup's driver, a man in his forties from northern B.C., was killed.
A passenger in the pickup truck, identified as the driver's son, escaped with minor injuries, as did the drivers of the transport trucks involved.
Anyone with information regarding this fatal collision, including any dashboard camera video, is asked to contact BC Highway Patrol in Dawson Creek at 250-784-3700.
