Mountain biker dies in plunge while cycling near Penticton, B.C.
10 hours ago

PENTICTON, B.C. — A 29-year-old Penticton man has been killed in a
mountain-biking accident in the Okanagan.

RCMP say the victim was biking with a friend in the Carmi area near
Penticton when he veered off a trail and over a 91-metre precipice.

Police, paramedics and search and rescue members responded, but the
man died at the scene.

A coroner's investigation is now underway.

The victim's name has not been released.

According to the news on television, the mountain biker should not
have been in that area (what else is new?!), and the grass along the
edge of the cliff can be slippery while wet.
