LANGLEY, B.C. - It has been a deadly 24 hours on British Columbia's roads, with three separate accidents claiming five lives.
RCMP in Langley, east of Vancouver, say a male driver is dead after his car rolled over on the road early Friday morning and he was thrown from his vehicle.
Mounties in Langley are also investigating the death of an 83-year-old man who was struck around 7 p.m. Thursday while crossing the street.
A 79-year-old woman who was also hit by the car is being treated in the hospital for non-life threatening injuries, and while investigators have ruled out speed and alcohol, Cpl. Holly Marks with Langley RCMP says the glare of the setting sun may have affected the driver's vision.
Three other people are also dead following a head-on collision on Highway 97 near Quesnel in the province's Cariboo District.
Police say a pickup truck smashed into an oncoming SUV on Thursday morning, and limited visibility caused by dense fog may have contributed to the accident.
