He was the lone occupant of a red Ford Explorer on Highway 1, which hit a red Nissan Qashqai directly before damaging a black Nissan Pathfinder, according to a BC Highway Patrol news release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The news release included a photo of the crash scene, which showed only the heavily-damaged Nissan Qashqai and police vehicles blocking traffic in the background on an undivided stretch of the Trans Canada Highway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not clear what led to the crash, but the four other people involved escaped with minor injuries or none at all, according to police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnyone who may have seen this collision, or who saw these vehicles in the minutes before the crash, is encouraged to call police,\u201d spokesperson Cpl. Michael McLaughlin said in the news release.&nbsp;\u201cWe also ask that all drivers use extra caution on undivided highways. Keep your full attention on the road, stay sober, and keep your speed down.
