More details are coming to light about that fatal single vehicle crash on Highway 6 late Monday.
West Kootenay Traffic Services Sergeant John Ferguson says they received a call about an impaired driver in the Crescent Valley area but patrols failed to locate the vehicle.
Ferguson says later they responded to a report of a white dodge pick up that rolled off the highway and police arrived to find a 28 year old local man had been killed.
Ferguson adds another contributing factor is the man was not wearing a seat belt.
