Crash on Lougheed Highway Shocks Early Morning Commute
Around 2 a.m. Saturday, a motorcycle and a sedan collided at the intersection of Lougheed Highway and 224 Street in Maple Ridge. The crash was serious enough that emergency crews rushed to the scene, and injuries were reported, leaving the community alarmed and curious about what unfolded.
Traffic came to a standstill while first responders provided aid and secured the area, and drivers were forced to find alternate routes as the roadway stayed closed for hours before reopening.
Emergency Response and Investigation Underway
Police and medical personnel arrived quickly after the collision was reported, and serious injuries were confirmed in the aftermath, though details about the individuals involved have not yet been released.
To better understand how and why the crash occurred, authorities called in the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service (ICARS). This specialized unit assists police in closely examining crash scenes to piece together the sequence of events.
Traffic Disruption and Road Reopening
Because of the scale of the crash and the subsequent investigation, traffic was temporarily halted along Lougheed Highway in both directions. Local commuters experienced delays early Saturday as crews worked to clear the scene.
After several hours of closures, the highway was reopened to motorists once it was safe to do so, easing disruption for drivers heading through the area.
What Comes Next
At this stage, investigators are still gathering information. Authorities have indicated that further updates will be provided as they become available, and anyone with additional details or footage from the time of the crash may be asked to assist the ongoing investigation.
If you witnessed the early-morning collision or have relevant video, consider reaching out to local police to aid with the review of the scene.
