Cranbrook RCMP and Cranbrook Fire & Emergency Rescue last evening (5:47 p.m.) responded to a call from BC Ambulance Service regarding a 14-year-old male who was unconscious and not breathing.

The youth had been riding a Kawasaki dirtbike alone on 30th Ave. S, at 29th St. S in the Gold Creek area south of Cranbrook when he crashed.

The youth rider succumbed to injuries related to the crash. Cranbrook RCMP continues to investigate the matter with the assistance of a collision analyst from the East Kootenay Traffic Services.

On behalf of the Cranbrook RCMP I would like to express our deepest sympathies to the family of the young man.

S/Sgt, Hector Lee,

Cranbrook RCMP Detachment Commander
