Police are still investigating after a crash involving a train took a life in Maple Ridge on Thursday.

Ridge Meadows RCMP responded to the incident at around 5:45 p.m. on April 21 in the 27200-block of Lougheed Highway, where they say a flatbed truck was attempting to cross the train tracks when the back of the trailer was struck by an eastbound train, said RCMP Cpl. Julie Klaussner.

The impact from the collision caused the truck to strike an SUV that was attempting to cross the tracks in the opposite direction – causing the vehicle to roll and trap the driver inside.

Witnesses on scene said the force of the crash caused the trailer to swing around and pin the SUV under its weight, trapping its driver.

Police closed the highway and preparations were made for Air Ambulance to transport her to hospital. However, despite Maple Ridge firefighters freeing her from the vehicle with the jaws of life and performing life-saving measures, police confirmed, the woman died on scene.

Condolences are currently pouring in online for the woman.

“So sorry for all involved,” wrote Paula Baust. “Condolences to family and friends of the lady. Sending love and positive thoughts to the drivers of the train and truck.”
