Canadian police seek Cork tourists who saw crash

The Canadian Mounted Police last night issued an appeal for Irish holidaymakers who witnessed the aftermath of a road crash in which three people died to contact them.

In a statement issued on its website, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said they wanted to speak to three holidaymakers from Cork who came across the scene of the accident north of Pemberton in British Columbia on May 31.

It is understood that a car hit three cyclists, killing two of them, as well as a passenger in the vehicle. The driver of the car was airlifted to hospital, while a third cyclist escaped unharmed.
