There was no criminality associated with a single vehicle crash that left one person dead at a rural property in Pitt Meadows on Friday afternoon, March 17, said Ridge Meadows RCMP.

The Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service (ICARS) was on scene investigating the collision, which occurred shortly after 1 p.m., at a private residence in the 18200-block of Old Dewdney Trunk Road.
