TWO North Vancouver residents are recovering in hospital in northern B.C. following a deadly head-on crash outside of Vanderhoof.
The couple were heading west in a Ford Explorer on Hwy. 16 at about 11 p.m. on Sept. 19 when an 18-year-old man driving east in a Pontiac Sunfire apparently failed to negotiate a right-hand turn and strayed into their lane, according to North District Traffic Services.
The collision killed the driver of the Sunfire, a Prince George resident. His name is being withheld at the request of his family.
Both of the middle-aged occupants of the Explorer suffered non-life-threatening injuries. One was taken to the Vanderhoof hospital, the other to the University Hospital of Northern B.C., in Prince George.
Police have not yet determined the cause of the collision, but say weather was likely not a factor. They are calling for witnesses.
