A pedestrian suffered serious injuries after an early-morning crash on Highway 1 in Langley. Police probe rain, visibility, and traffic delays.
Early Morning Crash Shakes Highway 1
Just after dawn, a quiet drive turned chaotic on Highway 1 in Langley. A vehicle struck a pedestrian near 256 Street shortly after 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday. As a result, emergency crews rushed to the scene while traffic slowed fast.
Police Work to Learn How It Happened
Langley RCMP say the investigation started right away. Sgt. Zynal Sharoom explained that officers are still sorting out key details. Specifically, they want to learn why the pedestrian was on or near the highway. Meanwhile, police continue to gather evidence and speak with witnesses.
Victim Rushed to Hospital
Paramedics took the injured pedestrian to hospital with serious injuries. However, police have not released further details about the person’s condition. Still, officers say they will share updates as facts become clear.
Driver Cooperates With Officers
The driver stayed at the scene and fully cooperated with investigators. Importantly, police do not suspect alcohol played a role. Instead, they point to heavy rain and poor visibility. Therefore, weather remains a major focus of the probe.
Expect Delays Through the Morning
Because officers stayed on scene until mid-morning, eastbound drivers faced delays. Consequently, police urged commuters to plan extra time or choose alternate routes. Eventually, traffic flow improved once crews cleared the area.
