Separate Weekend Boating Accidents On B.C. Lakes Leave 2 Dead, One Hurt

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 13 Jul, 2015 10:41 AM
    SICAMOUS, B.C. — An Alberta woman has died in a boating accident in British Columbia.
     
    RCMP in Sicamous, B.C.,  say the 22-year-old woman died on Shuswap Lake in B.C.'s southern Interior.
     
    The incident happened near Cinnemousun Narrows, about 15 kilometres due north of Sicamous.
     
    Investigators have not released the name or hometown of the victim or said how she died.
     
    The fatal boating accident was one of two in B.C., over the weekend.
     
     
    A 41-year-old man was killed Saturday and a second man was injured when their vessel flipped and disintegrated after appearing to hit wake while travelling at high speed across Sproat Lake, on Vancouver Island.
     
    RCMP say they believe speed was a factor in a fatal weekend boating incident on Vancouver Island.
     
    Police have pulled the body of a 41-year-old man from Sproat Lake just west of Port Alberni, B.C.
     
    Officers responded on Saturday to reports of an on-the-water incident.
     
    Quick-acting bystanders were able to rescue one man from the water who was also on the vessel when the incident took place.
     
     
    He was later airlifted to hospital in Victoria.
     
    Police have not released any names and say the investigation is ongoing.
