Police have confirmed a few more details surrounding the death of a snowmobiler in Silver Star Provincial Park.
The B.C. Coroners Service said last week it was investigating a death that occurred on Sunday Dec. 28.
Around 12:45 p.m. that day, Vernon North Okanagan RCMP officers responded to the parking lot at Aberdeen Summit Road and Sovereign Lake Road for a report of a collision between a snowmobile and a parked vehicle, an RCMP spokesperson told The Morning Star.
The driver and lone occupant of the snowmobile suffered fatal injuries and died despite life-saving measures taken on scene.
The Coroners Service is conducting an independent and concurrent investigation to determine how, where, when and by what means the snowmobiler came to their unexpected death, the spokesperson said.
Neither the Coroners Service nor the RCMP have any more information to release at this time.
