Redacted summary

Commission's Final Report after Commissioner's Response Regarding a Fatal Motor Vehicle Incident in Langley, British Columbia. Introduction In late October 2012, members of the Langley, British Columbia, RCMP Traffic Section were conducting a targeted traffic enforcement operation along a road in Langley in response to public complaints of speeding and aggressive driving in the area. The RCMP members involved were also using an Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) system to monitor passing traffic. Members attempted to stop a truck identified by the ALPR system as being associated with a prohibited driver. The truck failed to stop and fled. Two unmarked RCMP vehicles attempted to catch up to the fleeing truck but discontinued their pursuit shortly thereafter. The fleeing truck subsequently failed to stop at a stop sign at an intersection and collided with a semi-trailer truck. This collision caused the trailer to collide with a third vehicle. The driver of the third vehicle sustained fatal injuries as a result of the collision and died at the scene. The matter was the subject of a Chair-Initiated Complaint in early 2013, an Interim Report in early 2016, and a Commissioner's Response in late 2017, before proceeding to a Final Report under subsection 45.72(2) of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act. The file was handled by the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission.
