WHITEHORSE — Yukon RCMP say one person is dead after a vehicle plunged into a lake in an ice-fishing tragedy over the weekend.
Police say in a news release they received a call around 1 a.m. on Saturday that the vehicle carrying three people “drove into open water” on Lake Laberge, about 50 kilometres north of Whitehorse.
It says only two of the people made it out safely, and that police and the coroner are investigating what RCMP call a “tragic event.”
RCMP say the submerged vehicle was one of two being used by the group of people ice fishing.
The Whitehorse RCMP detachment says the body was retrieved on Sunday afternoon by the British Columbia RCMP Underwater Recovery Team.
The detachment recommends that the public avoid Lake Laberge while investigators are on the scene.
