The BC RCMP Southeast District Major Crime Unit is investigating the circumstances of a fatal motor vehicle incident last month and are seeking witnesses or video to advance their investigation.
In a press release Wednesday, police said on Jan. 9, 2025, the Trail and Greater District RCMP responded to a motor vehicle incident that resulted in the death of a 38-year-old Fruitvale woman, Laura Morrison.
