RCMP said the tow truck was called to the scene.

Police originally described the vehicle involved in the collision as a “commercial truck.”

Police said they think that four hours earlier, at 11 a.m., “two unknown men, described as fishermen, may have stopped at Mica Hydro Village and asked for assistance in calling a tow truck for a stranded motorist.”

Officers are now hoping to speak to the men who might have called the tow truck.
