A 38-year-old Abbotsford man was arrested on the scene for impaired operation of a motor vehicle.
Police are looking for witnesses or dash-cam video.
“The driving behaviour leading up to the collision is very important, and there may even be witnesses who saw concerning behaviour hours before the crash,” said Corp. Michael McLaughlin with the BC Highway Patrol.
