Overview
- Kaslo Search and Rescue arrived at a forestry road near Silvercup Ridge and found one occupant without vital signs and the other critically injured before she died at a hospital.
- Rescuers deployed ground teams, quad units and a helicopter to reach the remote crash site under challenging terrain and limited daylight.
- SAR manager Mark Jennings-Bates estimates the vehicle fell about 200 metres down a steep rock field and rolled many times during its descent.
- Authorities suspect a loss of control on rough terrain as a likely factor, but the precise cause of the rollover remains under investigation.
- Stacey Tourout and Matthew Yeomans built the Toyota World Runners channel to over 200,000 YouTube subscribers and their families confirmed their deaths in a joint Facebook statement that has prompted widespread tributes.
