Two People Dead Following Head-on Collision Between SUV and Dump Truck in West Abbotsford
Investigators say the SUV crossed into the truck’s lane, and police are asking witnesses or dash-cam owners to come forward.
Two people died on Friday at 11:32 a.m. following a head-on collision between a dump truck and an SUV in the 30000-block of Marshall Road in Abbotsford.
Preliminary evidence indicates the westbound SUV crossed into the eastbound lane; the dump truck driver is cooperating fully with The Abbotsford Police Department.
Despite lifesaving efforts by first responders, both the driver and passenger of the SUV were pronounced deceased at the scene, where vehicles sustained significant damage blocking the roadway.
Marshall Road remains closed in both directions between Ross Road and Lehman Road as the Abbotsford Traffic Enforcement Unit and ICARS lead the ongoing investigation.
Anyone with information or dash camera footage is urged to contact Abbotsford Police at 604-859-5225, while motorists are advised to seek alternate routes.
