Driver dead, passenger injured in highway crash near Savona, B.C.
SAVONA, B.C. — Police in British Columbia’s southern Interior say a single-vehicle crash on the Trans-Canada Highway east of Savona has killed one person.
RCMP say they were called Sunday to respond to the crash involving two women from the Metro Vancouver community of Port Coquitlam.
Police say their early investigation suggests the pickup truck hit the ditch, then rolled over into the opposite ditch after “overcorrecting.”
Both women were trapped inside, and police say firefighters helped get them free.
They say the passenger was found dead, while the driver was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The Mounties are asking anyone who witnessed the crash to contact them.
