The driver was taken to a hospital, and despite extensive life-saving efforts, they were pronounced deceased.
“The deceased resided in the Columbia Valley, and our sympathies go out to the family and friends affected by this tragic event,” said Columbia Valley RCMP officials.
“The RCMP would like to thank the good Samaritans who stopped, called for help and provided initial first aid.”
