100 Mile House RCMP were instrumental in helping a motorist navigate for help.

On Sunday September 7, police received a report of a single vehicle collision on Canim Hendrix Lake Road.

Sargeant Brian Lamb said a person called saying they had been in a crash but did not know where they were.

“Police relayed instructions on how to complete an SOS on their phone and activated Search and Rescue.” Lamb said, “Police were advised of the location of the SOS from the phone provider and located the vehicle off the road and down an embankment.”

The single occupant had injuries that were not life threatening and was transported to hospital by Emergency Health Services.
