    BURNABY, B.C. — An 87-year-old woman has been named as the victim in a crash involving a train and ambulance in Langley, B.C., on Friday.

    She was flown to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster and died later in the day.

    Mounties said they were reviewing video captured by several dashboard cameras, as well as possible video from the train.
     
    Additional investigations are underway by the coroner, WorksSafeBC, the Transportation Safety Board, the BC Ambulance Service and CP Rail.
