LANGLEY, BC — On Monday, September 15, 2025, at approximately 6:20 p.m., the Langley RCMP responded to a tragic motor vehicle collision near 256 Street and 48 Avenue. The collision involved two sedans, and despite the swift response of emergency services, one of the drivers tragically succumbed to their injuries at the scene.
Fatal Collision Details
Initial reports from the Langley RCMP indicate that the collision occurred on a busy stretch of road. Emergency crews arrived at the scene to find the two vehicles involved, with one driver critically injured. Despite the best efforts of first responders, the driver was pronounced dead on-site. The second driver was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
