The driver has been identified after a commercial truck struck an overpass on Highway #1 in Langley, but BC Highway Patrol is still looking for more witnesses and dash camera video.
The collision happened on March 19, 2026, at 2:52 p.m., when a white, eastbound flatdeck truck with a crane boom struck the CP Rail overpass between Glover Road and 232nd Street.
“The truck driver did not wait for police at the scene, which is the ideal, but subsequently reached out to police and is cooperating,” says Corporal Michael McLaughlin with BC Highway Patrol. “There was a small amount of visible damage to the overpass. The Ministry of Transportation and Transit had made sure the overpass is still structurally safe.”
BC Highway Patrol continues to investigate the collision and will work with Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE) to follow up on options for enforcement.
Anyone who saw the overpass strike, who has dash-camera video of the white commercial flatdeck with a crane, is asked to call BC Highway Patrol – Burnaby at 604-526-9744 and quote file (1003) 2026-854.
