Fatal UTV accident south of Quesnel
QUESNEL, B.C. — One person is dead after a UTV rollover incident south of Kersley.
RCMP say that just after 5 p.m. yesterday (Mar.17), police arrived on scene to learn a UTV had rolled down a steep embankment and the sole occupant was seriously injured.
“The investigation revealed the driver was doing chores on private property and was dumping a load of debris when the UTV started to roll down an embankment,” says Sgt. Richard Weseen.
“The UTV lodged on a tree approximately 200 meters down the steep decline and the driver was thrown from the vehicle. The driver tumbled another 200 meters where he landed on a dry bank of the Fraser River.”
