LANGFORD, B.C.—A second sombre procession is scheduled to travel along the highways of southern Vancouver Island today as the body of RCMP Cst. Sarah Beckett is returned to Langford.
The Capital Regional District Traffic Safety Commission said a plane carrying Beckett’s body was due to land at the Victoria airport around 2:30 p.m.
It noted members of the West Shore RCMP detachment will provide an escort to a funeral home in Langford.
A similar escort was provided yesterday when the body of the 11-year member of the RCMP was taken to the airport.
Beckett was killed early Tuesday when a pickup truck collided with her cruiser at an intersection in Langford.
The 32-year-old officer is survived by her husband and two young children.
RCMP Cpl. Janelle Shoihet said the Mounties are conducting a criminal investigation into the incident.
