BOSTON BAR — B.C. Highway Patrol is asking for witnesses and dashcam video following a fatal head-on collision involving three vehicles on Highway 1 in the Fraser Canyon Sunday (Jul. 13).

The crash happened around 4 p.m. just north of Boston Bar. Investigators say a red Ford Explorer and a red Nissan Qashqai collided head-on, with a black Nissan Pathfinder damaged in the aftermath.

A 62-year-old Lytton man, who was the lone occupant of the Ford Explorer, died at the scene. Four others were involved in the crash. They managed to escape unharmed or with minor injuries.

“Anyone who may have seen this collision, or who saw these vehicles in the minutes before the crash, is encouraged to call police,” said Cpl. Michael McLaughlin of BC Highway Patrol in a news release.

The crash closed Highway 1 through the Fraser Canyon for several hours Sunday evening.
