RCMP are seeking a witness to a fatal head-on collision on Highway 16 east of Fraser Lake on Monday evening.
Called to the scene near the Dry William Lake rest stop at about 5:30 p.m., police said they were told a westbound pickup truck was attempting to overtake an unloaded logging truck using the passing lane but ran out of room and collided with a car in the oncoming lane.
The car's driver, a man in his forties from the Lower Mainland, died in hospital while the driver of the pickup truck, a 20-year old man from Alberta suffered serious injuries and remains in hospital, police said.
Police said they would like to speak to the driver of the logging truck, which had stopped, but departed the scene before police could speak with the driver.
Anyone with information about this collision, including any dashboard camera video, is asked to contact North District RCMP's regional traffic services at 250-649-4004.
