The motorcyclist has been identified as a 22-year-old man from Abbotsford and he died at the scene. 

The initial investigation has indicated that the driver of a Dodge pickup truck was stopped in the centre lane of the Fraser Highway waiting to complete a left turn and head east when a motorcyclist was travelling west on Fraser Highway and collided with the front of truck.
