The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a woman who died after a motor vehicle incident near Princeton on Oct. 2, 2014.
She is Pamela Beryle Bloxom, aged 70, of Kamloops.
Ms. Bloxom was the passenger in a motorhome, pulling a trailer on which was loaded an SUV which was heading westbound on Highway 3 Thursday afternoon. About four kilometres east of Bromley Rock outside of Princeton, the motor home swerved, causing the trailer to go out of control and the SUV to become separated from the trailer. During this incident, Ms. Bloxom was ejected from the motor home. She was deceased at the scene.
The BC Coroners Service and RCMP Traffic Services continue to investigate this death.
RCMP say the crash happened at about 3:30 p.m. 25 kilometres east of Princeton.
The 72-year-old male driver of a 2005 Alfa motorhome (similar shown above) left the road and went into the ditch, according to police. He managed to get the rig back onto the highway and stop the vehicle.
The driver was taken to Princeton hospital, treated for minor injuries and released.
RCMP investigators and the B.C. Coroners Service continue to investigate Bloxom’s death.
Anyone who witnessed the incident are asked to contact South Okanagan Traffic Services at 250-499-2250
