    The Canadian Press, 15 Sep, 2015 12:49 PM
      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.
       
      The B.C. Coroners Service says Helena Van Gool was a patient and was being driven from her seniors' residence to hospital when the accident happened.
       
      She was flown to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster and died later in the day.
       
      The RCMP said on Saturday the ambulance driver had been released from hospital and a paramedic who was riding in the back of the vehicle was in stable condition.
       
      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.
