“It appears the road conditions were favourable, the road appeared to be bare and it was clear, it was dusk but still somewhat light outside, and it was a fairly steep curve though, that the vehicle had to maneuver around,” said Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie.
The driver died at the scene, while one of two children in the vehicle later died in hospital. A second survived, but is in “grave condition.”
