A light grey 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with Alberta plates went missing sometime between October 15 and October 18. The Land Cruiser is a unique vehicle, if anyone has any information or has seen the vehicle, please call the Columbia Valley RCMP at 250-342-9292.
Transport truck cab burns in national park
In the early morning hours of October 20, RCMP members responded to a vehicle fire involving a transport truck on Highway 93 east of Kootenay Crossing. Luckily the driver and passenger were able to exit the truck after successfully disconnecting it from the trailer resulting in only the cab burning. Kootenay National Park Ranger also attended and confirmed there was no danger of the surrounding forest igniting.
