A person has died following a crash involving a drunk driver in Prince George.
Prince George RCMP are seeking more information on a crash that occurred around 7 p.m. Nov. 7 on the 1500-block of Old Cariboo Highway, said police.
The car, a grey Pontiac Vibe, had left the highway resulting in an incident that caused the death of the vehicle’s single passenger. The driver, uninjured, was located by officers at the scene and found to be under the influence, said police.
