A serious two-vehicle crash at Emerald Lake Road and Highway 1, near Field, B.C., claimed the life of one traveller.
Police said the pick-up truck carrying two passengers from the United States crossed the centre-line Wednesday at 12:20 p.m. and ran into an on-coming mini-van carrying three passengers from Alberta.
“All involved were transported to hospital, two of which were by air ambulance to Calgary,” RCMP said in a press release. “The passenger of the pick-up truck has since passed away from her injuries.”
