KAMLOOPS – A woman is presumed drowned in the British Columbia Interior after the vehicle she was driving left the road and went into a river.
Mounties say the crash happened Sunday around 6:21 p.m. when the vehicle driven by a 24-year-old woman entered the North Thompson River in Kamloops near Schubert Drive and Birch Avenue.
Police say three bystanders jumped in and rescued a 21-year-old passenger from the water that was “running high and was fast-moving.”
However, police say the driver could not be rescued before the current carried the vehicle downriver where it sank.
Rescuers have failed to find the woman or the vehicle, and police say the victim is presumed drowned as the search continues.
Investigators believe the crash was an accident, and no further details were released.
