REVELSTOKE, B.C. — An early morning crash on Highway 1 in southeastern B.C. has claimed the life of an Alberta woman.

Police say they were called on Monday to a report of a crash about 35 kilometres east of Revelstoke.

RCMP Staff Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky says a vehicle went down an embankment, hitting several trees along the way.

The male driver climbed out and flagged down a passing vehicle for help.

The woman — whose name and hometown hasn't been released — died in the crash.

Grabinsky says it was very foggy at the time of the crash, but it's not known if that was a factor in the accident. (CKXR)
