Driver loses ICBC fight after car conked out on flooded Langley road
A small claims tribunal has denied a Langley driver compensation for a damaged car, after finding she knowingly drove into a flooded road during the 2021 atmospheric river.
Resolution Tribunal vice chair Andrea Ritchie noted that there were multiple versions of what happened next, from the driver and two witnesses, including a passenger in the car. However, Ritchie noted that the driver had given several other versions of the incident, including saying that there was some flooding on the road but it “did not look deep,” as other drivers and even a cyclist made it through, but her car seized up and died while driving.B.C. lawyer wins $37 after suing over ‘disappointing’ children’s laser tag birthday party
She also said she had pulled over to the side of the road near the flooding while waiting to decide what to do, and that waves from the large trucks then hit her parked car, suggesting it was water splashed into her car that caused the issue.
