Crash Highway 1 Langley
 

Construction crew allegedly ignored warnings in Langley crash - British Columbia - CBC News

A construction crew ignored warnings to move vehicle off road in the fog, and apparently didn't have proper signage and warning flags...resulted in death of SUV driver 2 hours later...

Would this be the fault of the construction crew even if they had their lights on? The SUV was speeding apparently...

Sad RIP , I hope they are liable.

Almost rear-ended some fuck a few nights ago driving 30km/h in the fog with no lights on, no taillights, no nothing.

I'd say the accident was preventable by the construction company had they complied, and the death was preventable if the SUV driver wasn't speeding (relative to conditions.)

jaywalkers in dense fog :seriously:
saw a truck without DRL all lights turned off in dense fog :fulloffuck:...at least it was daytime but still

Hmm ive encountered a lot of the construction crew in hwy 1 giving the signal to change lanes too late

And yeah what is up with people not turning on their lights in the thick fog?

Also spotted a guy walking in the shoulder of hwy 91 earlier today... NBD

The fog was ridiculously thick this morning in Duncan. Was following a guy in a white Ford Fusion who didn't have his lights on and I could barely see him 100 feet in front of me.

I pulled up next to him at the next light and got him to roll down his window and advised him, "You should turn on your lights. I couldn't even see you when I was traveling behind you."

The response: "Mind your own fucking business, asshole."

He didn't turn on his lights ...

Anyways, speeding in the fog is stupid (as is not turning on your lights in periods of limited visibility).

Refusing to park your vehicle in a safe manner, which would mean not on the highway during periods of limited visibility, is equally stupid.

I saw someone walk right off the seawall today


Remember that there are a lot of people out there in the world with the awareness level of a carrot

What a moron.

LOL

RIP.

That stretch of highway between 232 and 264 eastbound is now three lanes, does one really need to be speeding down the fast lane at 3:50 in the morning?

people who are so ignorant to turn on their fucking light in the dark, in the rain, in the fog, in the snow deserves to die

no im not fucking kidding


it pisses me off so much seening retards at night not turning on ANY sort of fucking light


new civic, altima, camry, prius

which dumbass thought it was a great reveolutionary design to have their gauge cluster lit up 24.7 which creates this chaos

Or idiots that have their highbeams on in the fog

FUCK THIS GAY EARF!

Was actually heading through that area around 6am to Harrison hot springs for work conference. Police blocked a huge stretch off, couldn't see anything except for police cars.

A few weeks ago while heading to work (again super dense fog), saw a guy on coming did't have any lights on (old ford f150), high beamed him a couple times and he turned on his lights.

My gf knows the parents of the man who passed away, very sad and the guy was engaged to get married next year. RIP.

I can't count the amount of times I've nearly rear ended a parked truck in the HOV lane on the number 1 west of the river. Coming around a blind corner, only to see one sign and 100 feet ahead a truck. Just standing there.

The policies need to change for things like this. Merge cones should be required at least a KM back from where the truck is parked.

What makes you think they were speeding? Even traveling 80KPH (the posted limit) and hitting a STANDING vehicle can easily be fatal. Add to the fact that most people go 100KPH there, it's not wonder they did not survive.

I've high beamed a ton of people lately and all they do is finger me as I drive by? Like seriously, think about it for a minute. Driving the speed limit? OK.. now wonder why someone might be flashing you. LIGHTS, moron.

what i usually do is gun it in front of them turn off all my lights (time attack style) until these idiots get it i continue to drive without lights

once they realize their stupidity i take off

THIS^

I forgot about this quote. I used to use this all the time...

George Carlin is EPIC

I acutally do this too. Most of them still don't get it.

was wondering what was going on, i had emergency vehicles going past my house wake me up. my room is maybe 50 feet from the highway. sucks to hear about stuff like this, especially with how avoidable it was

From the CBC article from OP's post.

Sorry can't copy and paste article on mobile but link is http://www.cbc.ca/m/touch/canada/british-columbia/story/1.2159060
Or refer to second post quoted by dvst8

You're right that even if they were only travelling 80 km/hour into a parked vehicle the aftermath would be fatal, but however if one was travelling a safe speed in correlation to poor weather conditions (rain, fog) one would have more time to safely react to situations.

Why not drive down one of the travel lanes on a three lane highway at 3:50 AM?

Drove through that stretch of highway this morning and saw flowers set on accident site. RIP.

guarntee u he was hogging the fast lane cruising........while the entire hwy was empty 3 in the morning


fast lane is for passing only

:ilied:

The victim was a only son and was driving home from his fiances place. He was suppose to get married next year. His dad who works in that area heard about the accident, worked the entire day and found out late in the afternoon that it was his son who was in the fatal accident. Very tragic and sad.

It's amazing how many new cars (namely SUVs) that don't have their lights on.

Do these people just turn off automatic lights? I'm pretty sure their default setting is 'active'.

I'm waiting for this shitty construction to go the fuck away. Just continues to bleed us all dry, financially and mentally.
