Two people missing in the Lake Country area have been found deceased.
A man and a woman, both 30, had gone for a ride on a quad to the Oyama Lake Road lookout Thursday at 9 p.m. However, they did not return and a search began.
On Friday at 2:50 p.m., Kelowna Search and Rescue located the quad in a ravine on Oyama Lake Road.
“The persons were located and were fatally injured,” said Cpl. Barbara Holley, with the Lake Country RCMP detachment.
An RCMP press release had stated that the couple were unfamiliar with the area.
The ATV accident remains under investigation and the B.C. Coroner Service is now involved in the case.
Besides Kelowna Search and Rescue, the search involved the RCMP and the Lake Country Fire Department.
