The Kamloops and Logan Lake RCMP responded to a single vehicle motor vehicle incident, late Tuesday afternoon. The injured lone occupant driver of the vehicle succumbed to her injuries later after being transported to hospital.

On Tuesday June 25, 2013, at approximately 1700 hrs, upon arrival on Lac Le Jeune Road at Chuwels Mountain Road near Kamloops, RCMP officers located the collision scene with good Samaritans, ambulance and fire/rescue tending to the lone occupant of the vehicle. The injured 74 year old female from Logan Lake, BC. was transported to Royal Inland Hospital by helicopter where she later succumbed to her injuries.

A Central Interior Traffic Services Collision Reconstructionist and the BC Coroner attended and completed the scene examination.
