2 fatal motorcycle crashes, drowning under investigation: Kamloops RCMP

Kamloops RCMP said investigators are looking into two fatal motorcycle incidents and a drowning in the Kamloops region on Saturday.
The weekend crashes happened along Barnhartvale Road near Robbins Range Road turnoff and Timber Lake Forest Service Road about 20 kilometers south of Kamloops, killing an 18-year-old motorcycle rider and a 60-year-old motorcycle rider.
Using a Remotely Operated Vehicle, Kamloops Search and Rescue and partners located the body at 11:00 p.m., and the RCMP dive team recovered the individual on Sunday with support from the Tobiano Volunteer Fire Department and BCEHS.
Mounties said they are withholding many details as next of kin are still being identified, and one crash tied up southbound traffic out of Kamloops for around 4 hours, according to social media reports.
Uncertainty remains about whether the drowning occurred in Kamloops Lake or another body of water within Tobiano, KSAR posted on Monday, Aug. 25, expressing condolences to the family and friends.
