    Delta Police confirm that next of kin notifications have been completed with the family of the 37-year-old driver Rajvinder Singh Sidhu of one of the semi-trucks involved in this incident. He was from Surrey, and unfortunately died at the scene. The other driver involved in the crash received non-serious injuries.

     

    The investigation remains ongoing as to the cause of this crash, and police will not be commenting at this time on possible factors involved.

     

    The crash scene was complex, and police again thank drivers and all those impacted for their patience. Clearing the road of the semi trucks was a complicated task.
