One person was killed early Thursday in a single-vehicle crash on Highway 4 in Port Alberni.
Port Alberni RCMP were called about 1 a.m. to assist the Port Alberni Fire Department after an eastbound van with two occupants left the roadway and hit a fence. The second occupant was uninjured.
People in a vehicle travelling behind the van stopped to help and called for assistance.
B.C. Ambulance paramedics arrived but a van occupant could not be saved.
Police are asking anyone with information to call them at 250-723-2424.
