Saskatchewan couple survives being buried in mudslide on B.C. highway
A Saskatchewan couple is recovering in hospital after a mudslide swept them off a cliff in British Columbia.
Weyburn resident Sheri Niemegeers said she and her boyfriend, Gabe Rosescu, of Regina were nearing their destination of Nelson, B.C. on Thursday, when disaster struck.
“We were driving down the road and we were pretty excited because we weren’t far from where our destination was. And all of a sudden we both were like, holy heck, there’s a tree. And then bang, that’s the last thing I remember,” she said.
The car tumbled down the side of a cliff in a mess of trees, mud and debris.
