A Minivan, travelling towards Fort St. John, allegedly failed to negotiate a turn in the roadway, causing it to go down a ditch and roll. Both men in the van were ejected from the vehicle.

Despite all attempts from RCMP, Fire Rescue and BC Ambulance, the two men, ages 27 and 47, died at the scene. Their names are not being released at this time.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation, but police are not ruling out that alcohol may have been a factor.
