LYTTON — Police say they are investigating to determine if the cause of a fatal crash near Lytton, B.C., between two tractor-trailers on Highway 1 was criminal.

The BC Highway Patrol say the crash occurred Monday just before 9 a.m., when a northbound Kenworth tractor-trailer towing two empty flat-deck trailers collided with a southbound Volvo tractor-trailer with two enclosed trailers.

The crash happened on Tank Hill Bridge in the Fraser Canyon region.

Police say the 49-year-old driver of the Volvo died at the scene, while the driver of the Kenworth was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Investigators say they have already spoken to some key witnesses in the crash and are considering the “driving behaviour” of both trucks leading up to the collision.
