A 42-year-old Chemainus man riding a motorcycle was killed in a collision with a tractor-trailer on Highway 97 between Hixon and Quesnel early Thursday morning.
The driver of the truck, a 38-year-old man from Aldergrove, was arrested and charged with impaired driving.
The collision occurred at 12:34 a.m. Thursday near Naver Creek Road, close to the Dunkley Lumber sawmill, and the RCMP’s BC Highway is seeking witnesses to the crash.
The truck involved is a black Kenworth tractor-trailer and the motorcyclist was driving a black Harley Davidson.
“Police need your help locating more witnesses to this collision, and dash-camera video would be helpful,” said Cpl. Michael McLaughlin with BC Highway Patrol. “The driving behaviour leading up the collision is very important, and there may even be witnesses who saw concerning behaviour hours before the crash.”
If you have any information that might help the investigation call BC Highway Patrol’s Quesnel office at 250-992-9211 and quote file number 3304 2025-5987.
