RCMP looking for information about GMC truck leading up to fatal crash in Fanny Bay

B.C. Highway Patrol is looking for witnesses to provide details about the leadup to a fatal collision in Fanny Bay. 

The crash happened just after 4:00 p.m. on July 31 on Highway 19A near Fanny Bay, where a black 2015 GMC Sierra Denali pickup truck towing a RV collided with multiple vehicles and killed a man standing on the side of the road. 

Cpl. Michael McLaughlin with B.C. Highway Patrol said anyone at the scene in the immediate aftermath of the collision may have vital information for investigators. 

“If you interacted with the driver of a black GMC Sierra Denali pickup truck with a black canopy, or you saw that driver doing anything concerning in the hours leading up to the fatal crash, you need to speak to police.” 

The driver of the truck was arrested for impaired driving causing death. 

Police are also seeking dash-cam or security video that faced Highway 19A between Fanny Bay Wharf and the Rosewall log sort, specifically those of southbound drivers. 

Anyone with information is asked to call the Campbell River B.C. Highway Patrol.
