  • Motorcyclist killed in crash with fire truck in Vancouver

A motorcyclist has died after a collision involving a Vancouver fire truck responding to a call.

Vancouver Fire Rescue Services say in a statement that the crash happened this afternoon near Lost Lagoon on the Stanley Park Causeway.

The crash has closed the road to traffic, and Vancouver Fire Rescue Services say the causeway will remain closed for the investigation.
