A 31-year-old Burnaby man is dead after a single vehicle crash in the Shuswap region Sunday.
At about 6:30 p.m., Chase RCMP were called to a single vehicle crash at the 38 kilometre marker of the Seymour Main Forest Service Road near Seymour Arm, which is about 150 kilometres northeast of Kamloops.
Upon arrival, officers determined four occupants had been in a vehicle that veered off the forest service road and rolled several feet down an embankment before coming to rest against trees on the bank.
“Information from witnesses at the scene lead police to believe alcohol and speed may have been factors in the crash,” states an RCMP press release.
A 31-year-old Burnaby man died in the vehicle, while the three other occupants were taken to hospital with minor injuries, according to police.
No names have been released
The crash is being investigated by the RCMP and the B.C. Coroner's Service.
