Rollover crash sends two to hospital

The 23-year-old driver of a camper van is accused of blowing a red light at the intersection of Fraser Highway and 240th on Sunday.

A rollover crash sent two to hospital and closed Fraser Highway at 240 Street for a few hours on Sunday.

Around 1:30 p.m., a Toyota camper van, driven by a 23-year-old Langley man, was travelling west along Fraser Highway when police say he drove through a red light.

An SUV, driven by a 53-year-old Langley man, was travelling south on 240 Street through the green light, T-boning the offending vehicle in the intersection.

The force of the crash caused the camper van to roll and all the contents inside were strewn all over the road.

Both the driver and his 23-year-old female passenger involved in the rollover were taken to hospital with unknown injuries.

The driver who ran the red light was given a ticket, said Langley RCMP.
