LANGLEY — One person is dead and another has been airlifted to hospital following a crash on Highway 1 in British Columbia.
Sgt. Joe Leeson with Langley RCMP says officers were called around 9:40 p.m. Friday night after a tow truck hit the rear of a tractor-trailer unit in the eastbound lanes of Highway 1.
Leeson says the tow-truck driver died at the scene.
The passenger was flown by air ambulance to hospital.
The collision closed the eastbound lanes of Highway 1 near Langley overnight, and while Drive BC says the road reopened Saturday, it warned drivers to expect major delays due to congestion.
RCMP are investigating the cause of the collision.
