“[I]t was on a forestry road, somewhere in the mountains, and quite a long ways north in the valley up towards … the village of Trout Lake,” Kaslo Search and Rescue (SAR) manager Mark Jennings-Bates told the outlet.
Jennings said Kaslo SAR was “able to get to them efficiently,” but one of the vehicle’s occupants was dead at the scene. The other died later at a hospital.
