COQUIHALLA HIGHWAY FATALITY

At approximately 1600h Hope Search and Rescue was called by RCMP to a MVI on the Coquihalla Highway, 15km North of Old Toll Booth. Prior to our departure, we were advised that a possible person was trapped and one was ejected from the vehicle.  Upon our arrival on scene, we were advised that there was only one casualty. After the coroner investigation, we brought the driver's body up a 15 feet embankment and assisted loading him in the awaiting vehicle. We stored our equipement and once cleared by the RCMP we left the scene, we departed and returned to base.
