File # 2024-1565

On December 1, 2024, emergency crews responded at approximately 10:15 p.m., to a single motor vehicle collision in the 1900 block of the Trans Canada Highway.

Upon arrival, the driver and two passengers associated with an SUV were located. The driver and one of the two passengers succumbed to injuries they’d sustained, and were pronounced deceased at the scene. The second passenger was located outside the vehicle with serious, life threatening injuries. This passenger was taken to the area hospital.

Evidence collected so far suggests the vehicle was travelling far above the speed limit when it veered right off the road, striking a culvert and overturning.

The collision remains under investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Ashcroft RCMP at (250) 453-2216.
