Chilliwack Woman Driving In Wrong Direction Dies After Head-On Collision On Highway 1

The Canadian Press, 10 Dec, 2015 12:01 PM
    AGASSIZ, B.C. — A 48-year-old Chilliwack, B.C., woman has died after driving a pick-up truck in the wrong direction on Highway 1.
     
    RCMP say the truck was travelling westbound in an eastbound lane when it collided head-on with a semi-truck just before midnight on Tuesday.
     
    Cpl. Ronda McEven says police received a report but were unable to intercept the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado in Agassiz.
     
    McEven says the female driver died at the scene, but the driver of the semi-truck was not hurt.
     
    She says the early investigation indicates the driver erred, but contributing factors including reduced visibility due to rain are being considered.
     
    Mounties and the BC Coroners Service are continuing their investigations.
