Woman killed when SUV goes off embankment east of Mission
MISSION — Mission RCMP are investigating an unusual series of events that resulted in the death of a woman earlier this week. Police say a woman from the Mission area was found dead inside a vehicle at the bottom of a steep embankment.
An RCMP news release said forestry workers came across a 33-year-old man on the Norrish Creek Forest Service Road (FSR) east of Mission around 4:30 a.m. Monday (Jul. 8). The man claimed he had been driving his SUV a day earlier when it veered off the road and down an embankment.
He said the woman that was travelling with him in the SUV was killed. He managed to climb up the embankment to the road. He sustained non-life-threatening injuries, was transported to the hospital and was later released.
