Police officers continue to investigate a fatal motor vehicle incident from Sunday, September 15, 2024 that occurred just after 2:30 p.m. The incident occurred on Massey Drive near Laverdure Way.

The initial investigation shows the taxi crossed the centre line, where it collided with a pickup truck. The four people in the pickup truck and the taxi driver were not seriously injured; unfortunately, the passenger in the taxi did not survive the incident. Frontline police officers were joined by an RCMP Traffic Reconstructionist, and traffic in the area was disrupted for several hours as the investigation was underway.

Investigators are looking for anyone who witnessed the event or the driving behaviour of the vehicles shortly before the incident. Also, if anyone who was driving in the area has dash camera footage capturing the incident, police officers encourage you to call the Prince George RCMP non-emergency line to speak with a police officer.

Our condolences go out to the family and friends of the deceased in their time of mourning, states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

The investigation continues.
