Two killed after tree falls on house in Horseshoe Bay

staff report
January 2, 2022 1:38pm

Two people were killed after a large tree fell on a house in a Horseshoe Bay neighbourhood overnight.

Officers were called to the 6200 block of Wellington Ave after a report of a large tree falling on houses.

Officers arrived to a scene of downed Hydro wires and ruptured gas lines that had been damaged by the uprooted tree. Emergency crews on scene confirmed the death of two people inside the house, a man in his 60s and a woman in her 50s.

“This appears to be a tragic accident,” says Cst. Kevin Goodmurphy. “We are supporting the British Columbia Coroners Service as they conduct their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the loss of life.” “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased.”

Roads remain closed to traffic in the area and the scene is still active as crews work to remove the tree and debris.
