One person was taken by air ambulance to hospital Friday afternoon near Harrison Hot Springs, after a vehicle carrying two people crashed into the lake.

A white 4x4 pick up truck drove off Rockwell Drive, down a steep embankment and into a shallow portion of Harrison Lake, several kilometres from the Village.

Rescue workers, including police, fire and ambulance crews, worked together to carry the occupants to the road, one on a stretcher. An air ambulance landing area was set up at a nearby beach and the Harrison Hot Springs elementary school.

Kent Harrison Search and Rescue was also called to the scene.
