Police on the west coast of Vancouver Island say one person has been found dead and another is missing after a road washout near Bamfield.
RCMP in Port Alberni say a truck was found fully submerged in the Sarita River Saturday night after a"washout," and the body of the driver was later found nearby.
They say one of the drivers was travelling from Bamfield to Victoria and the other was driving from Port Alberni to Bamfield, and both were reported missing Saturday evening when they failed to arrive at their destinations. Coquitlam RCMP say officers responded to the slide near Pinecone Burke Provincial Park midday on Saturday, and found one home had been"swept away."
A helicopter was deployed, along with Alberni Valley Search and Rescue, but it was a family member of the missing driver who spotted the truck just before 9 p.m.
