A single vehicle accident at Yarrow Creek occurred yesterday, June 25 between 9 and 10 am.

According to Pincher Creek Fire Chief Dave Cox the vehicle was southbound on Highway 6 and appeared to have mounted the right-hand bridge railing before falling over a steep embankment into the creek, where it landed on its roof before rolling back onto its wheels.  Pincher Creek Emergency Services responded with an ambulance and a rescue vehicle.  RCMP also attended the scene.  The single passenger of the vehicle was transported to Pincher Creek Hospital with undetermined injuries.

The vehicle remained in place until today, June 26, when passers-by report a crane was used to pull it from the creek.

Yarrow Creek is south of Pincher Creek.
