Tragic Crash Claims Life of 39-Year-Old Man in Maple Ridge

A devastating collision in Maple Ridge has resulted in the death of a 39-year-old man and left another individual injured. The Ridge Meadows RCMP swiftly responded to the scene of the serious accident at approximately 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Upon arrival at Haney Bypass near 277 Street, law enforcement discovered two vehicles severely damaged.

According to eyewitness accounts, the driver of a Pontiac Sunfire was allegedly seen veering into the oncoming lane, ultimately colliding with a Honda Civic. The impact of the crash proved fatal for the 39-year-old man from Abbotsford, who was identified as the driver of the Pontiac Sunfire by the police.
