Police in Mission say two young men from Abbotsford are dead and a third suffered serious injuries when their truck went off a forest service road down an embankment Thursday evening.
Mission RCMP say the truck was travelling on the Norrish Creek Forest Service Road east of the city when it went off the road, and police were called after the surviving occupant flagged down a car on the road and told the driver of the crash.
Police say Mission Search and Rescue were called in and located the truck 90 metres down an embankment where they found the other two occupants of the truck dead.
Mounties say all three men in the truck were 22-year-old residents of Abbotsford and had been out camping in the area.
They say the cause of the crash is under investigation.
Collision investigators are probing the circumstances with the RCMP's traffic service unit and police say they're looking for potential witnesses to contact them if they saw a red Ford Ranger with a black Canopy in the area on July 17.
