B.C. woman driving on highway dies from injuries days after large rock crashed into her windshield

A driver injured when a rock crashed through her vehicle’s windshield last week on a Metro Vancouver highway has died.

B.C. Highway Patrol Cpl. Melissa Jongema confirmed that the vehicle’s 34-year-old female driver died of her injuries after the crash on June 6. 

Police said a day after the crash on Highway 1 that a “large rock” had been recovered from the scene.

Jongema said police are still investigating where the rock may have come from, and no additional details have been released.

The crash happened in Burnaby, near the highway’s Willingdon exit, and police said previously that the driver was taken to hospital in critical condition.

Police are still seeking witnesses and possible dashcam footage of the crash to help with the investigation.
