Two people fell into the Fraser River and were holding onto a log 30 feet out from the shoreline near 22410 River Rd. when they were picked up by a boat.
“This is all unfolding as we speak. It happened 10 minutes ago,” said Ridge Meadows RCMP Staff Sgt. Mike Bhatti.
“We got a report that two females were out in the water hanging on to a log about 30 feet out and were picked up by a boat before we got there,” Bhatti explained.
Bhatti said he wasn’t aware of their ages and didn’t know yet if the rescue boat was commercial or privately owned.
Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
