“We are at the beginning stages of putting together all the details to give an accurate picture of exactly what happened tonight,” said Sergeant Sascha Banks.

“Anyone who was there and witnessed the incident prior to the event, during the event, or after the collision are asked to come forward to the RCMP if they have not already done so.  We are a tight knit community and our thoughts are first and foremost with the family as well as those who were on scene, responded, and helped in any way they could.”

Squamish RCMP, Sea to Sky General Investigations Section, the Integrated Collision Analyst  Reconstruction Service (ICARS), and the BC Coroner’s Service will partner to conduct a thorough investigation.
