A Hells Angel from Saskatoon is in hospital with a serious head injury, after riding his motorcycle off the highway and into a rock wall near Hope Sunday while driving home from three chapters鈥� 30th anniversary party in Langley.
Some of his fellow bikers then rode to New Westminster鈥檚 Royal Columbian Hospital after the man was sent there in an ambulance, said Sgt. Lindsey Houghton, spokesman for the RCMP鈥檚 anti-gang unit.
鈥淸He鈥檚] expected to survive, is all I heard, with head injuries,鈥� Houghton said Sunday afternoon, adding that New Westminster police were warned the bikers would be coming to the hospital.
Hundreds of Hells Angels from across Canada gathered at the rural clubhouse in Langley 鈥� where the White Rock chapter meets 鈥� over the past three days to mark the founding of that chapter and two others. White Rock, Nanaimo and 91原创 were the first three Hells Angels chapters in B.C., founded in July 1983.
Houghton鈥檚 Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit and Langley Mounties monitored the event throughout the weekend, and, apart from the accident mid-day Sunday, it was 鈥渃ompletely uneventful, as they usually are,鈥� Houghton said.
The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit is B.C.鈥檚 integrated anti-gang police agency and is mandated to target and investigate organized crime groups and individuals that pose a high risk to public safety due to gang violence.
