A car crash near Chase has resulted in two fatalities, says RCMP.
On Oct. 1, around 3 p.m., BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) was called to a two vehicle car crash in the 5300 block of Highway 1, just west of Chase.
The crash involved a Mercedes SUV and a Honda Civic.
Chase RCMP were called to the scene shortly after BCEHS arrived.
BCEHS attempted life-saving efforts on the two occupants from the Honda Civic but they were both pronounced dead at the scene.
The two have been partially identified as a 47-year-old woman and her 11-year-old son from Kamloops.
The driver of the Mercedes SUV was transported to hospital for treatment of serious injuries.
“The loss of life in any incident is tragic, and our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of those affected during this incredibly difficult time,” said Cpl. Brett Urano, RCMP spokesperson.
“As this investigation is in its infancy, investigators are working to determine exactly what occurred, and we are asking anyone who may have witnessed the incident or captured relevant dash camera footage to come forward.”
