AGASSIZ, B.C. — A man from Agassiz, B.C., has been identified as the victim of a single-vehicle crash on Highway 9 in the Fraser Valley community.

The 25-year-old driver whose name hasn't been released was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say it was raining heavily at the time of the crash on Friday and that the roads were slippery.
