RCMP helped in locating overdue traveller
On Monday, April 11 at 8:30 a.m., Columbia Valley RCMP received a report of an overdue traveller. A group of friends had planned to camp at Twin Lakes near Brisco but one of the friends failed to show up. The RCMP, with the assistance of Columbia Valley Search and Rescue and the B.C. Conservation Officer Service, searched the area and located the missing person on Westside Road. The individual, who was found safe and uninjured, explained her vehicle had become stuck in the snow so she stayed with her vehicle overnight and decided to walk out in the daylight. Columbia Valley RCMP would like to thank Search and Rescue and the Conservation Officer Service for their assistance.
