Impairment is not considered to be a contributing factor in this collision. The incident is still under investigation.

Keith Wilson Road between Lickman Road and Carter Road was closed to traffic as police investigators collected evidence from the scene with the assistance of the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Services (ICARS). It has since reopened in both directions.

Three B.C. ambulances could be seen driving westbound away from the scene at 8:18 a.m. on Keith Wilson Road. Their emergency lights were not activated.

An air ambulance was initially called out and fire personnel were going to set up a landing zone at Unsworth Elementary. However, the landing zone and air ambulance were cancelled at approximately 8:08 a.m.

An RCMP truck with its siren and lights activated sped southbound on Unsworth Road towards the incident at a high rate of speed responding to the area at about 8 a.m.

The accident tied up traffic on Keith Wilson Road, and drivers trying to get their kids to the nearest elementary school, Unsworth Elementary, were rerouted onto Lindys Drive, Sherry Drive, and then Webster Road back onto Keith Wilson Road.

There is an illuminated crosswalk beacon at Lindys Drive and Keith Wilson Road as many school kids and their families cross the street to head towards the neighbourhood just east of Unsworth Elementary, as well as Mount Slesse Middle School farther east.

Anyone with information, including dash cam footage around the area of Keith Wilson between Tyson Road and Lindys Drive, between the 7:30 a.m. to 7:50 a.m. is asked to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604 792-4611 and quote file 23-17705.
