About
Silas
O'Brien died at 2:30 a.m. Thursday when the driver of a white truck that had earlier forced O'Brien's vehicle into a ditch suddenly returned. He was standing with two friends alongside his white Silverado pickup when the white truck accelerated at them.
The friends, Sam Dooley and Luke Stevens, managed to scramble clear, but O'Brien was struck and killed. The vehicle that hit him quickly fled the scene.
The young men had been on their way to the Vancouver airport for a trip to Hawaii.
Police have blamed severe road rage in the death.
Carr added that no other details will be released relating to the arrest until investigators can give the Crown a "very strong" package of evidence.
"Often times investigations are like a poker game," he said. "We don't want to put our cards on the table and show our hand at this time."
Langley RCMP Supt. Janice Armstrong said O'Brien's family is "still in shock and disbelief" over the tragic incident.
"They have really appreciated the outpouring of compassion and love from this community," she said.Sponsorship

Thoughts from a stranger
Michael Cotsman Apr 07, 2011
Isn't it strange how somehow life can come back to us despite our loss? Whenever the thought of Silas comes to mind, I think you might do what we do; simply live the memory of that moment which will be both painful and not so painful.
Should you care to know how I from Ohio, USA arrived here, it was while viewing different versions of "All my Tears" on YouTube. The tribute to Silas simply got to me. What a beautiful tribute the group and especially the lead singer did.
I don't know if it's proper to do so here, but should you care to send me an email, I'm at mlcotsman@att.net. My thoughts of care to you and family again.
