KEREMEOS , B.C. – The body of a missing woman, whose vehicle went off the road and into a fast moving river Friday morning near Keremeos, has now been located and recovered.
RCMP have confirmed that Amy Sabean’s vehicle veered off of Ashnola Road, and plunged into the Ashnola River, approximately 15 km from the Similkameen River. Because the water was moving so fast, the search for Amy extended to the Similkameen River in hopes she could be located there.
“Sadly, earlier this morning search and rescue crews located the body of a deceased woman approximately 14 km down stream of the Ashnola River from the collision site, and about 1 km prior to where the Ashnola River enters into the Similkameen River,” stated Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey, spokesperson for the BC RCMP. “Due to the high risk associated to recovering the deceased from the river’s rapidly flowing waters. Search and rescue personnel took the time necessary to safely carry out the recovery mission.”
The woman has since been identified as 43-year old Amy Sabean, and her family has been notified.
