PRINCE GEORGE – On Wednesday, July 5, 2023, Valemount RCMP responded to a fatal crash that claimed the life of a 46-year-old Merritt woman.

The crash occurred between 11:45 p.m. on Tuesday, July 4, 2023, and midnight on July 5, 2023, on Highway 16 near Lucerne Campground, just west of the B.C. – Alberta border.

Around midnight, a 2016-2018 Jeep Cherokee believed to be involved in this collision is observed driving east along Highway 16 at the Parks Canada gate, west of Jasper, Alberta.

The license plate number is not visible, and the vehicle has no front plate. Once the vehicle passed through the Parks Canada gate, it is unknown if it travelled south toward Banff or east toward Edmonton. Police checked video surveillance at gas stations in Jasper and Hinton, Alberta, but the suspect vehicle was not seen on video.

The suspect vehicle is believed to have front-end damage, possibly including a missing driver’s side headlight and damage to the front grill from the impact.
