Jasper RCMP are charging a motorist with impaired driving after a 26-year-old passenger died in a vehicle rollover on Pyramid Lake Road.
On Thursday (Sept. 19), police responded to the incident at 2:30 a.m. and discovered a heavily damaged sedan that had been occupied by four people.
A 26-year-old male passenger was determined to have suffered serious injuries and was immediately transported to hospital, but he was later pronounced deceased.
With the assistance of Parks Canada, Pyramid Lake Road was briefly closed so RCMP investigators could respond to the area.
The driver of the vehicle has since been arrested and charged for the impaired operation of a motor vehicle causing death, dangerous operation causing death and failing to comply with a breath demand.
RCMP did not disclose the name of the accused.
