Woman in her 50s killed in early morning Highway 1 rollover in Langley

LANGLEY · A woman in her 50s is dead after a two-vehicle collision on Highway 1 in Langley early Saturday morning. Langley RCMP say the crash happened in the westbound lanes near the 216 Street exit around 12:50 a.m. Preliminary investigation suggests a grey Subaru collided with a grey Jeep Grand Cherokee, causing the Subaru to roll over into a ditch. The Subaru's driver, the vehicle's sole occupant, was pronounced dead at the scene, while the three occupants of the Jeep were not injured.

Police say they received multiple reports of the collision. "All we know at this point is that there were two vehicles involved in some type of collision, and it caused the Subaru to flip on its side," said Cpl. Mansoor Sahak of the Langley RCMP. He said it is still too early to determine the cause, but impairment has been ruled out at this point. The woman was from the Lower Mainland, police said.

Westbound lanes of Highway 1 were closed at the 216 Street exit until 8 a.m. Saturday as investigators collected evidence at the scene. The closure affected traffic for over seven hours while officers conducted their investigation. The RCMP's Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service (ICARS) has been called in to assist with the ongoing investigation.

"As the investigation remains ongoing, officers are working to establish the sequence of events that led to this fatal collision," Sahak said. "We continue to work in partnership with the Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service (ICARS) as part of that process." The service will work to determine a precise sequence of events that led to the crash. Police are asking anyone who witnessed the incident or who may have dashcam footage of the collision to contact Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 and quote file number 26-36357. The investigation is continuing.
