      LANGFORD, B.C. — A driver taken into custody after a collision that killed a British Columbia Mountie has been released without charges.
       
      RCMP Cpl. Janelle Shoihet confirmed the man was released Wednesday morning but she says a criminal investigation is active and ongoing.
       
      The man was taken into custody early Tuesday after a crash killed 11-year member of the force Const. Sarah Beckett in Langford, B.C., near Victoria.
       
       
      Shoihet says in a statement that investigators and analysts have completed their scene examination and are continuing to gather evidence.
