Some new details on last night’s fiery collision on the Sea to Sky Highway near Whistler.
RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen says the 19-year old driver of a pick-up truck that slammed into a limousine — killing its driver — may have been impaired by drugs, “We have a drug recognition expert involved in the investigation. That 19-year old male sustained some serious injuries and was transported to a local area hospital pending further investigation into the impairment by drug.”
The driver of the limousine, a 54-year old man from the Lower Mainland, died at the scene.
The Highway re-opened around 7:15 Sunday morning following an eight hour closure in both directions between Alice Lake and Function Junction.
