The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) is seeking witnesses and dashcam footage related to a three-vehicle crash that took place Tuesday (July 27).
The collision occurred just before 6:30 a.m. in the 32500 block of Maclure Road, between Trethewey Street and Gladwin Road.
Police say a red pickup truck was heading west when it crossed the median and crashed into a transport van in the eastbound lanes. The van, carrying 14 passengers, was then hit from behind by an SUV.
The driver of the truck suffered serious injuries and remains in hospital. A family member of the driver anonymously told The Abbotsford News that he had suffered an aneurysm while driving.
