      CHASE, B.C. — British Columbia's coroners service has identified the man who died in last week's collision involving a tour bus on a notorious section of the Trans-Canada Highway.
       
      Nineteen-year-old Sascha Hedrich of Pritchard, B.C., died while driving a stretch of road in the province's Interior known as Hoffman's Bluff, east of Kamloops.
