0:00It's March 23rd. Welcome in. This is Vancouver News today, where local news meets AI. I'm Corey with the story. A tragic avalanche struck a remote area in northwestern British Columbia near the Alaska border on Sunday, claiming the life of one person from a group of five. Authorities received a satellite emergency signal that afternoon, reporting the slide near Pleasant Camp in the Clahini River with one member. In conscious and getting CPR, search and rescue teens from Atlin, about 500 kilometers east, along with RCMP, quickly launched a helicopter to reach the site. Rescueers found one person deceased, but confirmed the other four were unharmed and extracted them safely. The coroner's office is now investigating, while avalanche Canada warns of considerable risk in the region, urging backcountry users to stay vigilant.
