A two-truck collision on Langley’s 16th Avenue sent a young man to the hospital with internal injuries Wednesday night, police say.

Just before 7 p.m., a westbound Ford F350 slammed into an eastbound GMC in the 20700 block of the busy South Langley road.

The F350 apparently entered the eastbound lane, and may have been swerving to avoid a vehicle pulling out of a driveway, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP.

The GMC driver, a 25-year-old Langley man, was rushed to hospital via Air Ambulance for treatment. He suffered internal injuries, but information on the seriousness of his condition was not immediately available.

The 38-year-old driver of the F350 and his 10-year-old son were not injured in the crash.

Both vehicles were towed from the scene and will be mechanically inspected.

The Integrated Collision Analyst Reconstruction Service (ICARS) is now working with Langley officers to investigate the exact cause of the crash.

Marks said there may be witnesses to the actual crash. Two vehicles stopped to help the victims after the collision, and they may have seen the impact.

Police are asking anyone who saw the crash, or has information that might help the investigators, to call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.
