Police are continuing the investigate the cause of the ice explorer rollover and are looking for help from the public.  

In particular, the Jasper RCMP hope to speak to someone who may have video from the tour from before the incident.  

July 18 around 11:45 is when the tour happened, and the explorer is known as Unit 547 "Bison". 

People are asked to contact the Jasper RCMP Detachment at 780-852-4421 if they have video.  

As of today, July 20, the Jasper RCMP, the RCMP Collision Reconstructionist, Occupational Health and Safety, Parks Canada, and removal crews continue to remain on scene at the Columbia Icefields. 

Police say it may take several days to remove the ice explorer vehicle because of where it landed and trying to keep it intact, but removal is in progress. 

The investigation into the cause is still underway, but the Collision Reconstructionist can confirm it was not caused by a rockslide.  

Police will not release the names of those who died, but since family has been notified, they’ve said it was a 24-year-old female from Canoe Narrows, SK, a 28-year-old female from Edmonton, and a 58-year-old male from India. 

As of last night, just four of those critically injured were still considered to be in critical but stable condition. One was in serious but stable condition. 

The highway is still open, and police continue to ask the public to avoid the area. 

Anyone with information about the rollover should call the Jasper RCMP Detachment at 780-852-3883. 

On Saturday (July 18) around 1 p.m., there was a roll-over in a remote location of the Columbia Icefields within the Athabasca Valley of an Ice Explorer all-terrain vehicle. 

Three of the 27 occupants were pronounced dead on scene by first responders. Many others were critically injured and transported away by helicopter. Various helicopter companies contracted by Parks Canada took them to the triage site, and STARS took them from there to various hospitals. 

Injured were transported to hospitals in Calgary, Edmonton, Grande Prairie, and Banff. According to AHS, 14 were in critical condition with primarily head or pelvis injuries, five patients were transported in serious condition, with leg and/or shoulder fractures, and the other five were in stable condition with minor injuries. 

The response to the accident involved 28 ground ambulances, fixed wing ambulances, and helicopter resources from the North, Edmonton, Central and Calgary Zones. 

The names of the deceased and injured cannot be released by police right now. 

Lake Louise and Jasper Fire Departments were dispatched, along with Parks Canada staff, and EMS from Jasper, Lake Louise and Banff. 

Jasper RCMP detachment is investigating the cause of the rollover. They are continuing to obtain witness statements, gather information, identify the deceased, and complete next-of-kin notifications. The cause of the rollover has not yet been found. Efforts are currently underway to remove the vehicle and complete a mechanical inspection. 

Highway 93 is open still. RCMP ask people to stay clear of the area so they have room to work.
