Police attended and examined the crash scene.

“Our investigators became very concerned for the well-being of the occupant or occupants of the vehicle, when they located blood inside that vehicle,” said Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey, in a press release.

“An extensive search of the area was conducted, with negative results, for anyone who may have either been ejected during the collision or had wandered off.”

The RCMP appeal for witnesses to come forward as they continue to investigate.
