Police are investigating a fatal crash that happened just north of Quesnel early this morning.
The crash happened at 12:34 am on Hwy 97 near Naver Creek Road and involved a black Kenworth tractor-trailer and black Harley Davidson motorcycle.
According to the BC Highway Patrol (BCHP), the 42-year-old Chemainus man who was riding the Harley was killed in the collision.
Meanwhile, the 38-year-old Aldergrove man behind the wheel of the semi was arrested at the scene for impaired operation of a motor vehicle.
“Police need your help locating more witnesses to this collision, and dash-camera video would be helpful,” said Cpl. Michael McLaughlin with the BCHP.
“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.”
The BCHP is asking anyone who witnessed “concerning behaviour” from either the semi or motorcycle before the crash, or the fatal collision itself, to reach out by calling 250-992-9211.
