Prince George RCMP continues to investigate an incident from Saturday, March 21, 2026, on Highway 16 east and is looking for any information from the public that may help forward the investigation. 

At approximately 9:00 p.m., frontline police officers responded to a report of a person on the Yellowhead Highway Bridge who appeared to be straddling the guardrail. The person was described as possibly a woman, wearing an oversized white sweatshirt and a pink toque. 

Police officers were in the area within minutes of the call being received and did not witness anyone nearby matching that description. The area was surveyed with the drone, and Prince George Search and Rescue was engaged to assist; a thorough search was conducted the next day using the RCMP helicopter, as well. However, the individual was not located. 

“It is unclear if the pedestrian was picked up by a passing vehicle or if they went over the side of the bridge. We are asking for anyone who was driving through the area between 8:30 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. and has dash camera video that would have captured any pedestrians on or near the bridge, to call the Prince George RCMP non-emergency line. Any information to help advance this investigation would be appreciated,” states Corporal Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

If anyone knows the whereabouts of this person or has additional information for police, they can contact the Prince George RCMP’s non-emergency line at 250-561-3300 or else contact Northern B.C. Crime Stoppers.
