Fatal ATV crash near Hope
Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
A 30-year-old Mission man was killed in an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) accident on Sunday, six kilometres east of the Portia exit on Highway 5. Hope RCMP received a 911 call at about 3:30 p.m. regarding an ATV driver going over an 80-foot embankment and rolling over. The man’s 29-year-old brother
was a passenger on the ATV at the time, but managed to jump off prior to the accident. Hope Search and Rescue was called to the scene to help recover the body of the deceased man. The B.C. Coroner’s Office was also in attendance. The incident is currently under investigation by Hope RCMP, with assistance from the Lower Mainland District Integrated
Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service. The name of the ATV driver has not been released, pending notification of next of kin. Hope Search and Rescue was also dispatched by the emergency coordination centre on Sunday afternoon at 3:15 p.m. to assist an injured hiker with a broken ankle near Poland Lake in Manning Park. Hope SAR sent two mem-
bers via helicopter to perform a hover exit. On route, the Chilliwack Helicopter Long Line Rescue team was requested to prepare the woman for helicopter extraction. Meanwhile, two Hope SAR members on quads prepared a landing area near Manning Park Resort Lodge so that the woman could be transported to hospital in an ambulance.
