A northern B.C. man has died following a fatal single-vehicle collision in Turtle Valley that took place last Friday (Aug. 14).  

Chase RCMP said officers responded to a one-car collision at Skimikin and Hepburn Roads, notes a news release. 

The caller said a person driving an SUV went over a steep ridge, directly into a shallow creek.

Tire tracks on the road indicated that the driver had failed to stop at a 'T' intersection and went directly over the bank.

The 39-year-old man from Fort St. John was found dead at the scene, without a seatbelt on.

The cause of the collision is unknown and Mounties are investigating.
