Police are looking into a motorcycle accident that left Blundell Road closed for most of last Friday afternoon.
Richmond RCMP received reports of the crash, which happened near Minoru Boulevard, shortly after 4 p.m. on Sept. 1.
The 63-year-old motorcyclist is a Richmond resident and was found “some distance away from his blue Honda,” according to Cpl. Dennis Hwang, Richmond RCMP spokesperson.
He was sent to the hospital with “life-threatening injuries” after receiving emergency care at the scene.
The affected stretch of Blundell Road between Moffat and No. 3 Roads was closed for police investigation from 4 p.m. until just before 2 a.m. on Saturday morning.
The Richmond RCMP Criminal Collision Investigation Team (CCIT) have taken conduct of the investigation.
“Alcohol or speed are not believed to be factors in this investigation,” said Hwang.
Anyone who was in the area between 3:50 and 4:00 p.m. who may have witnessed, or have dash cam footage, of the accident should call Richmond RCMP at 604-278-1212 and quote file number 2023-27770.
