Courtenay man killed in ATV accident
By Contributor
A 20-year-old Courtenay man has died after a collision on a logging road in Cumberland over the weekend.
The Comox Valley RCMP and B.C. Ambulance Service responded to a collision involving an All Terrain Vehicle on the Trent River Main in Cumberland just before 3:30 p.m. on Saturday (October 26).
Initial reports are that the man was following behind a few on dirt bikes. When he attempted to take a turn in the roadway it would appear he was unable to make it safely and was then tossed from his vehicle.
Although the twenty year old was wearing an approved helmet and face shield, he did not survive the collision.
Our thoughts are with this man’s family and his friends. We are hoping to help them as they are faced with the loss of a loved one, said Deb White of the Comox Valley RCMP’s Victims Services office.
