Columbia Valley RCMP
This past week, May 5 through 11, the Columbia Valley RCMP responded to 60 calls for service, one of which was a motor vehicle fatality.
On the evening of May 9, officers were dispatched to a single-vehicle rollover on Hwy 95 just south of Brisco.
Members first on scene, along with members of the public, provided first aid to the driver and lone occupant of the vehicle.
The injured driver was taken to the hospital where, after extensive life saving efforts, the individual was pronounced deceased. The motorist resided in the Columbia Valley and our sympathies go out to the family and friends effected by this tragic event.
The RCMP would like to thank the good Samaritans who stopped, called for help and provided initial first aid.
