Williams Lake RCMP say a man has died as a result of a single vehicle accident on Gibraltar Mine Road, after they responded to the incident on March 19.
A tanker truck carrying high grade explosives had gone off the road and was engulfed in flames. RCMP and Gibraltar Fire evacuated the area and set up containment until the explosive risk was mitigated.
"Once the explosive risk was mitigated police confirmed that an adult man had died as a result. The incident is being investigated by the RCMP and the Mines Investigation Unit. No names will be released," notes a media release.
