DAWSON CREEK — Two children are dead after a utility terrain vehicle that was being driven by one of them, a seven-year-old girl, rolled in northeastern British Columbia.

RCMP say the crash happened last Thursday in the Village of Pouce Coupe, about 10 kilometres southeast of Dawson Creek in the Peace River region.

Police say the vehicle was carrying the driver and four other young children.

It rolled several times and some of the children were ejected.
