LYTTON — The BC Highway Patrol says a 49-year-old Surrey man is deceased and a Chilliwack man was hospitalized after two tractor-trailers collided Monday morning on Highway 1 near Lytton.

According to a statement from BC Highway Patrol Corporal Michael McLaughlin, police say the crash happened just before 9 a.m. Monday morning, Nov. 24 on Highway 1 on the Tank Hill Bridge.

Police say a blue northbound Kenworth tractor-trailer towing two empty flat-deck trailers collided with a southbound green Volvo tractor-trailer towing two enclosed trailers on Highway 1 on Tank Hill Bridge.

Additional witnesses and video evidence will be paramount in determining whether there is criminality involved in the fatal crash, Cpl. McLaughlin said.

The driver of the southbound Volvo died on scene, while the driver of the northbound Kenworth, a 38-year-old Chilliwack man, was taken to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
