The Ice Explorer involved in the crash is part of Banff Jasper Collection by Pursuit’s fleet, which provides tours in the area.
Pursuit said it is supporting the RCMP in its investigation and the company has suspended its operations in the Columbia Icefield.“I’d like to extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the deceased as well as our sympathy to those injured in the accident,” vice president of operations Stuart Back said.“We’re actively reaching out to the families of those affected offering support as needed and requested.”Pursuit president Dave McKenna said the company has been providing tours on the Ice Explorer vehicles for about 39 years and there has never been an incident where a passenger sustained a serious.
