The BC Highway Patrol is asking for the public’s help following a serious crash that claimed the life of a motorcyclist…

Police say just after midnight on July 24, 2025, a black Kenworth tractor trailer unit collided with a black Harley Davidson near Naver Creek Road, south of Hixon. The 42 year-old motorcyclist from Vancouver Island died at the scene while the driver of the tractor trailer unit, a 38 year-old man from Aldergrove, was arrested for impaired driving.

“Police need your help locating more witnesses to this collision, and dash-camera video would be helpful,” says Corporal Michael McLaughlin with BC Highway Patrol. “The driving behaviour leading up the collision is very important, and there may even be witnesses who saw concerning behaviour hours before the crash.”

Anyone who witnessed concerning behaviour leading up the collision, the black Kenworth tractor-trailer and the black Harley Davidson moments before the crash, or the collision itself, is asked to call BC Highway Patrol – Quesnel at 250-992-9211 and quote file 3304 2025-5987.
