Two YouTube influencers from Canada who showcased their off-roading adventures died in a rollover crash on Thursday, according to reports.
Stacey Tourout and Matthew Yeomans, who ran social media accounts under @ToyotaWorldRunners, were in an off-road motor vehicle crash on August 7 around 6:30 p.m. near Trout Lake in British Columbia, Canada, The Sun reported.
“It was a challenging rescue and recovery for the team after an intensely busy few days,” Kaslo SAR manager Mark Jennings-Bates said in a statement. “The remote access, high altitude, and limited daylight all added complexity to an already difficult situation. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of those involved.
A press release from Kaslao SAR about the incident did not provide identities, but said that once Kaslo SAR members were able to get to the scene, a male occupant of the vehicle was found dead, and a woman was found away from the crash site, “disoriented and suffering from serious injuries.” She was then flown to a hospital, where she died later that day.
