One man is dead following an incident involving roof surfing in Vernon during the early morning hours of June 1.

About 12:32 a.m., Vernon RCMP responded to a report of a single vehicle rollover at the end of Tronson Road, just north of the intersection with Garmisch Road.

When police arrived, they found that a 27-year-old man had suffered fatal injuries in the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators determined that the man had been riding on top of the vehicle when it left the roadway and rolled over. The 2007 Dodge Caliber had three people seated inside, two other men aged 35 and 40, and a 27-year-old woman.

“Investigators spoke with the female who remained at the scene and located one of the two male occupants after the pair of males had walked away from the scene,” RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said in a statement. “The second male eventually attended the Vernon RCMP detachment later in the day and was released without charges at that time.”

The man’s name has not yet been released and the BC Coroners Service has been called to help investigate. RCMP are looking for witnesses or to speak with anyone who may have information about this incident.
