One dead after head-on collision between roadster and minivan in Langley – BC

One person has died after a head-on collision between a vintage hot rod and a van in Langley.

Langley RCMP said the crash happened in the 20700 block of Grade Crescent just before 4pm.

Police say the driver of the 1932 Ford Roadster was thrown from his vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.

“The very first investigation suggests that the Roadster suddenly swerved and collided with the trailer. It is believed that the deceased may have suffered a medical event,” RCMP said in a news release.

The driver of the van is mostly unharmed but in shock, police said.

The RCMP’s Lower Mainland Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service was deployed to the scene, and drivers were notified of road closures and delays in the area.
