Reports from the scene indicate that mechanics were trying to repair the vehicle, in the emergency lane, on the northbound side when a heavy articulated logging truck ploughed into it. 


"A male approximately forty years of age was found to have sustained fatal injuries and was declared dead on arrival of paramedics," says Emer-G-Med's Kyle van Reenen.
