QUESNEL — Police say a tractor-trailer driver has been charged with impaired driving causing death in a crash involving a motorcyclist last year.

The crash happened July 24, 2025, on Highway 97 near Quesnel, in the province’s Cariboo region.

Police say a Kenworth tractor-trailer collided with a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, killing the 42-year-old man on the motorbike who was from Chemainus.

The BC Prosecution Service approved multiple charges against the truck driver after a yearlong police investigation.

Amninder Singh Sran faces one count each of dangerous driving causing death, impaired driving causing death and driving with a blood-alcohol content over the legal limit.
