A Chemainus man has died after his Harley-Davidson motorcycle collided with a tractor-trailer north of Quesnel.
According to BC Highway Patrol, the crash happened around 12-30 this morning on Highway 97 near Naver Creek Road.
They say a 38-year-old truck driver, from Aldergrove, collided with the 42-year-old biker, and suspect alcohol is a factor in the crash.
Constable Michael McLaughlin says they have the driver of the truck in custody, and any information provided is important to the investigation.
“Police need your help locating more witnesses to this collision, and dash-camera footage would be helpful,” he says. “The driving behaviour leading up to the collision is very important, and there may even be witnesses who saw concerning behaviour before the crash.”
Anyone with information is asked to contact the B-C Highway Patrol at 250-992-9211.
