CASTLEGAR, B.C. – Police in British Columbia’s southern Interior say a crash between an SUV and a snowplow dump truck has killed an eight-year-old boy.
A statement from the RCMP’s highway patrol division says the collision happened on Highway 3 near Castlegar, B.C., on Saturday around 8 a.m., when road conditions were “cold and icy with freezing rain.”
They say investigators are asking anyone who may have seen the crash or has dash cam footage to contact them to help determine what happened.
The RCMP say a 57-year-old pedestrian who had stopped to help another vehicle that drove into a ditch, is suffering from “life-altering injuries” after being struck by a green SUV as it spun away from from the snowplow.
They say the boy from Nelson, B.C., who died in the crash was travelling with his five-year-old brother and 44-year-old stepfather, who both sustained minor injuries.
Police say the 65-year-old driver of the snowplow truck appears to be unhurt.
