Squamish RCMP is investigating following a single vehicle collision into the river in the early morning hours of Saturday, which has left one person unaccounted for.
On June 14, 2025, at 2:30 a.m., first responders attended a single-vehicle collision into the Squamish River involving four occupants. One individual remains unaccounted for and is not believed to have made it out of the vehicle.
Search and Rescue teams have conducted both aerial and ground searches along the water and shoreline, but the vehicle and missing occupant have not yet been located. The river in this area is exceptionally deep and fast-flowing due to spring runoff, making conditions hazardous.
Squamish RCMP is actively liaising with the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team; however, due to current water levels and the unknown location of the vehicle, recovery is not possible at this time. Police will continue to monitor conditions and reassess recovery efforts as water levels begin to recede and visibility improves.
The investigation into the collision is ongoing, with investigators working to determine the contributing factors surrounding the incident.
