ALDERGROVE — Langley RCMP say a man has been arrested for impaired operation of a motor vehicle after he allegedly crashed into the Aldergrove RCMP Community Police Office on Fraser Highway.

On Sunday, October 29, just before 8:30 p.m., Langley RCMP received the report of a motor vehicle crashing into the Aldergrove Community Policing Station at 26970 Fraser Highway. The police office appears to have sustained damage to its front wall, according to a published media report.

Officers responded and found several witnesses at the scene assisting a female occupant out of a vehicle that had collided with the Community Policing Office. First aid was initiated and BC Emergency Health Services responded, took over care of the female and she was transported to hospital.

Witnesses at the scene advised the driver had left the collision scene on foot. The driver was located a short distance away and arrested for impaired operation of a motor vehicle. He was transported to Langley Detachment for further investigation.

Witness information has determined the incident may have begun further east on Fraser Highway. Currently, Fraser Highway from 268 Street to 276 Street is closed to traffic. Langley RCMP’s Criminal Collision Investigation Team (CCIT), Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service (ICARS) and the Integrated Forensic Identification Section (IFIS) are assisting with the investigation.
