On September 5, 2024, at 6:00 a.m., officers with Nelson RCMP responded to a single vehicle collision in the 2000 block of Highway 3A and 6.
Evidence at the scene suggested the driver and single occupant of a Mazda 3 had travelled off road right, colliding with a large rock and flipping over onto its roof.
A passerby who came across the vehicle, which caught on fire, managed to pull the unconscious driver to safety, surely saving the man’s life, said Cpl. Derek Pitt, Nelson RCMP Detachment.
